Effect of Cognitive Remediation on Gait in Sedentary Seniors

Effect of Cognitive Remediation on Gait in Sedentary Seniors

Background. Attention and executive functions show strong associations with slow gait and falls in seniors and have been shown to be amenable to cognitive remediation. However, cognitive remediation as a strategy to improve mobility has not been investigated. Methods. Using a randomized single-blind...

Zusammenfassung:Background. Attention and executive functions show strong associations with slow gait and falls in seniors and have been shown to be amenable to cognitive remediation. However, cognitive remediation as a strategy to improve mobility has not been investigated. Methods. Using a randomized single-blind control design, 24 sedentary older adults (exercise less than or equal to once weekly and gait velocity
