New insights from combining gait and hand motor function in classification of amnestic MCI and Alzheimer's Disease
Overall, slower speed (gait or key-tapping) was associated with amnestic-MCI and AD and greater variability with nonamnestic-MCI and VaD. Weak-to-moderate correlations, and improved classification accuracy of the combined gait/key-tapping model, suggest involvement of distinct motor-cognitive mechanisms worth further examination.
