NCT ID NCT07562919
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how walking speed relates to physical abilities like balance, muscle strength, and mobility in people aged 65 and older. Researchers will compare two groups: those who walk slower (0.4–0.8 m/s) and those who walk faster (above 0.8 m/s). The goal is to better understand how walking speed can help identify early signs of decline and guide care for older adults.
