Speed of Voluntary Step Execution May Predict Survival Among Older Adults – An Explorative Study
Voluntary stepping performance, in DT conditions, may be a valuable predictor of survival in older adults. Incorporating DT based assessments into clinical evaluations could improve survival prediction and guide early interventions targeting cognitive-motor health. Future studies should explore the longitudinal impact of voluntary stepping on survival, assessing whether cognitive-motor training for balance rehabilitation can enhance survival rates.
