Uppsala-Dalarna Dementia and Gait Project
This project is testing whether a simple walking-and-talking test called the TUG dual-task can help detect early signs of cognitive decline and predict future dementia. The person walks a short distance while answering questions at the same time. Researchers want to know how accurate and reliable this test is. There is no drug or treatment involved. No phase is listed — this appears to be an observational research study.
