Walking and Balance Tests for Older Adults with Memory Concerns
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how older adults walk and balance when doing two tasks at once (like talking while walking). Researchers want to understand how mild memory concerns affect movement, which could help catch early brain changes.
