Read our Alzheimer's Disease research guide →Researchers want to understand how Alzheimer's disease affects the way people speak, use language, and move their bodies. This study will look at these three areas together in people who have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease or mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, and compare them to healthy people of the same age. By studying these patterns, doctors hope to find new ways to spot and understand Alzheimer's disease earlier.
Currently, doctors don't fully understand how language, speech, and movement problems are connected in Alzheimer's disease. This research aims to fill that gap so that these signs can be recognized sooner and potentially help with earlier diagnosis and treatment.
If you join this study, you will complete two simple movement tests—one to assess how you walk and one to measure your hand strength. You will also complete four language and speech tests that check how you speak naturally and how quickly you can come up with words. The study takes place in one or a few visits; the exact number and timing will be explained by the research team when you enroll.
