Strength and dual-task training for older adults with mild memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of strength training and 'dual-task' exercises (like walking while counting backwards) can improve balance, eye movements, and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help you keep your memory and physical abilities stronger for longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
