Walking patterns to detect early memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how older adults walk to see if walking patterns can help find early signs of memory loss or dementia. If you are 50 or older and can walk without help, you may be able to join.

This study uses a small wearable device to track walking and movement, which may help spot early signs of memory problems. It aims to see if this technology can help doctors detect cognitive decline sooner.
This study tests whether listening to a steady beat (rhythmic music) while walking can improve movement and brain function in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
This trial tests a program that combines digital health tools with exercise to help older adults stay active and independent. It may be a good fit if you are 65 or older and can walk or move around without major difficulty.
This study tests whether a healthy lifestyle program can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is slight memory and thinking decline. It focuses on diet, exercise, and other daily habits to see if they can slow down or improve memory issues.
This study tests a program of exercises designed to improve both memory and balance in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The goal is to help people remain independent and reduce the risk of falls.
This study looks at how your walking (gait) might help predict future dementia and risk of falls. You may be asked to walk tests and have health information collected to see who is at higher risk.
