Why the study?
Does mild cognitive impairment attenuate prefrontal cortex activations during walking in older adults?
Does mild cognitive impairment attenuate prefrontal cortex activations during walking in older adults?
Mild cognitive impairment in older adults is associated with reduced prefrontal cortex activation and efficiency during dual-task walking.
May inform dual-task gait assessments in older adults; leaves open causal mechanisms and intervention targets.
