Thinking about future to boost activity in older adults with memory and walking concerns
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether imagining positive future events can help older adults with mild memory complaints and slower walking become more physically active. It aims to improve overall health and well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether personalized exercise programs can help older veterans who walk slowly and have mild memory or thinking concerns. The goal is to improve your physical and mental function.
This study tests a combined brain and walking exercise program for older adults who have normal thinking but show early signs of thinking or memory problems and slower walking. The goal is to see if this training can improve memory and movement, and potentially prevent further decline.
This study tests whether regular physical exercise can improve memory and thinking skills in people 65 and older who have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers want to see if staying active helps protect brain function.
This study tests whether a technique called 'guided episodic future thinking' (imagining positive future events) can help you stick with a physical activity program and support healthy brain aging. You'll be asked to exercise on a stepper machine and have MRI scans and blood draws.
This study looks at whether light-to-moderate physical activity (like walking or stretching) can help memory and thinking in middle-aged and older adults. People with normal thinking, mild memory problems, or Parkinson's disease may join if they aren't already very active.
This study looks at how mindful walking—combining walking with focused attention—affects thinking and memory in older adults at risk for dementia. Researchers will track your brain activity and daily movement to see if this approach helps protect brain health.
