NCT ID NCT07572942
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new type of test that uses laser feedback maps to measure how well older adults with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS) can think and move at the same time. The test combines visual skills, reaction time, and arm control into one task. Researchers want to see if the test is reliable and accurate by comparing it to other measures. The study involves 35 adults aged 65 and older.
