Sensorized Motor and Cognitive Dual Task Framework for Dementia Diagnosis: Preliminary Insights From a Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study explores the use of novel motor and cognitive dual task (MCDT) approaches, based on upper limb motor function (ULMF) and lower limb motor function (LLMF), to discern individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) from older adults who are cognitively healthy (OA).

Objective

The study objectives encompass (1) the exploration of alternatives to the traditional walking MCDT; (2) the examination of various ULMF and LLMF MCDT modalities, incorporating different exercises with varying motor difficulties; and eventually, (3) the assessment of OA in comparison with people with MCI and SCI to acquire more nuanced insights into different stages of the diseases.

Methods

The upper and lower limb motor performances o
