The causes of decline are multifactorial, including disease-specific changes in motor function, behavior, and cognition. To optimize clinical management of mobility, there is a need to better characterize capacity for safe and independent mobility. This study aimed to identify key factors that impact on mobility in dementia.<h4>Methods</h4>Expert input was gathered using a modified Delphi consensus approach. The primary criterion for participation was specialist knowledge in mobility or dementia, either as a clinician or a researcher. Participants rated elements of mobility for importanceAlzheimer's & dementia (New York, N.
