This paper reviews the recent literature on technologies and methodologies for quantitative
human gait analysis in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. The use of technological …

Numerous studies showed decreased performance in situations that require multiple tasks
or actions relative to appropriate control conditions. Because humans often engage in such …

Importance Cognitive decline is a common and feared aspect of aging. Mild cognitive
impairment (MCI) is defined as the symptomatic predementia stage on the continuum of …

Background Age-associated motor and cognitive deficits increase the risk of falls, a major
cause of morbidity and mortality. Because of the significant ramifications of falls, many …

Abstract Background and Purpose Exercise interventions are effective at preventing falls in
community‐dwelling older adults, especially before disability is present. Gait speed below …

Studies of dual-tasks (ie situations during which an individual performs two tasks
simultaneously) and the subsequent inter-task interference have shown that locomotion and …

Importance Gait performance is affected by neurodegeneration in aging and has the
potential to be used as a clinical marker for progression from mild cognitive impairment …

Dementia and gait impairments often coexist in older adults and patients with
neurodegenerative disease. Both conditions represent independent risk factors for falls. The …

A substantial corpus of evidence suggests that the cognitive involvement in postural control
and gait increases with aging. A large portion of such studies were based on dual-task …

Objectives: Our objective is to report prevalence of motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a
newly described predementia syndrome characterized by slow gait and cognitive …
