Correlation Between Gait Performance and Global Cognitive Functions in Senior Adults: A Systematic Review
Overall, a gait slowing between 0.68 and 1.1 meters per second could predict a marker for the risk of developing dementia, indicating that monitoring gait speed in older adults may provide early warning signs, allowing for timely interventions. Enhancing GP and GCF can improve the quality of life and independence in older adults.
