Relationship of Neural Correlates of Gait Characteristics and Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment.

ABSTRACT: Background: Some patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) experience gait disturbances. However, there are few reports on the relationship between gait disturbance and cognitive function in patients with MCI. Therefore, we investigated the neural correlates of gait characteristics related to cognitive dysfunction. Methods: Eighty patients diagnosed with MCI from three dementia centers in Gangwon-do, Korea, were recruited for this study. We defined MCI as a Clinical Dementia Rating global score of 0.5 or higher, with a memory domain score of 0.5 or greater. The patients were classified as having either higher or lower MMSE and the groups were based on their Mini Mental Status Examination z-scores. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to examin
