Restoring Central Motor Control Extension

NCT04302831 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2021-03-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Motor skill training therapy aims to improve the brain's control of walking and can improve clinic-based measures of walking in older adults. However, it is unknown whether the benefits of motor skill training extend to real world mobility measures. The investigators will test the effects of motor skill training on measures of community mobility of older adults and assess the mechanisms through improved motor control at the level of the brain. These results will inform intervention approaches to maintain community mobility of older adults and prevent disability and institutionalization.
