Gait Speed Reflects Cognitive Impairment in Early AD
Gait speed positively correlated with cognitive impairment in the early AD, but not in normal controls. One possible explanation is the pathological changes of AD in the brain that affect gait and cognition simultaneously. Our study suggests that gait speed should be considered as a marker reflecting global cognitive function.
