NCT07223905
Motor-Cognitive Training for Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome
Conditions: Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome
Sex: All
Ages: 65 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 30
Sponsor: University of Kansas Medical Center
Location: University of Kansas Medical Center Kansas City Kansas
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if combined motor-cognitive training can improve motor and cognitive symptoms in older adults with motoric cognitive risk syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does motor-cognitive training using a virtual reality treadmill improve gait speed?
* Does motor-cognitive training using a virtual reality treadmill improve cognitive functions?
Researchers will compare virtual reality treadmill training with treadmill training to see if virtual reality treadmill training works to improve motor and cognitive functions in older adults at risk of dementia
Participants will
* Complete 18 sessions (1 hour, 3x/week, 6 weeks) of either virtual reality treadmill training or treadmill training
* Complete a pre- and post-training assessment
* Wear an activity sensor for seven days prior to the pre-training assessment and for seven days after the post-training assessment.
