Walking patterns to detect early memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how walking patterns change in people with mild memory problems compared to healthy older adults. It may help find early signs of dementia using a simple walking test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a wearable sensor device that tracks walking and thinking to help detect and monitor early memory decline. Participation involves wearing the sensor during daily activities and attending clinic visits, which may help identify changes in cognitive function over time.
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 study tests whether a healthy lifestyle program can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) – slight memory or thinking problems that are noticeable but not severe. Participating with a family member or friend who helps care for you is required.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help improve memory, thinking ability, and physical strength in people aged 60–85 with mild cognitive impairment (early memory or thinking problems that don't severely affect daily life). The goal is to see if exercise can slow or improve these changes.
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 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.
