A pilot study to investigate postural sway and saccadic eye movements comprehensively for MCI classification

While single assessment of postural sway or saccadic eye movements is potentially useful for dementia screening at clinical settings [1, 2], multimodal assessment of the two movements could improve the screening accuracy [3‐5]. We have developed a novel comprehensive assessment system of posture and saccades, with integrated additional cognitive tasks of visuospatial memory and spatial orientation. We hypothesised that the new system would improve the classification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
