Declining Gait Speed is associated with Deteriorating Executive Performance in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment

The Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome has highlighted the link between cognitive and motor performance, and the associated incremental higher risk of developing dementia. There is considerable debate regarding what aspects of cognition (working memory, executive function, attention) are most associated with gait changes. This study investigates the relationship between mobility scores and cognitive profiles in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) specifically with regard to executive performance and amnestic/non‐amnestic profiles.
