Thinking and Movement in Older Adults with Hand or Arm Injuries
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking skills (like memory and problem-solving) relate to physical function in older adults with hand or forearm injuries. It may help you if you're 65 or older and have a hand or forearm injury but can still do simple tests with your arm and mind.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older
- You must be able to talk and hear or see well enough to complete thinking and memory tests
- You must not have active wounds, open fractures, or severe pain in your hand or arm that would make it hard to do movement tests
- You must not have a speech or language problem (aphasia) or severe hearing or vision loss
