The Effect of Overground Walking on the Increase of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Levels, IL-6, HS-CRP, Cognitive Function, and Quality of Life in the Elderly
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Overground Walking for Cognitive Impairment and Aging. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of overground walking as a part of a rehabilitation program on the increase in Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, decrease in IL-6 levels, decrease in hs-CRP levels, improvement in cognitive function, and enhancement of quality of life (QOL) in older people with mild cognitive impairment. These findings are anticipated to contribute to the efforts to elevate BDNF levels, cognitive function, and QOL while reducing IL-6 and hsCRP levels in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment.
