“…Afterward, the participants were assessed using the following neuropsychological tests, covering three cognitive domains: (1) episodic memory assessed by Auditory–Verbal Learning Test–Huashan version (AVLT-H) ( Zhao et al, 2012 ), using the delayed recall and delayed recognition scores; (2) speed/executive function assessed by trail-making test (TMT) parts A and B ( Perrochon and Kemoun, 2014 ), using the time spent for completing TMT A and TMT B; and (3) language function assessed by verbal fluency ( McDonnell et al, 2020 ) and Boston Naming Test ( Stålhammar et al, 2016 ), using the scores of both tests. Meanwhile, depression level was assessed using the 30-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30) ( Chau et al, 2006 ).…”

BackgroundOlder adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have slower gait speed and poor gait performance under dual-task conditions. However, gait kinematic and kinetic characteristics in older adults with MCI or subjective cognitive decline (SCD) remain unknown. This study was designed to explore the difference in gait kinematics and kinetics during level walking among older people with MCI, SCD, and normal cognition (NC).MethodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 181 participants from July to December 2019; only 82 met the inclusion criteria and consented to participate and only 79 completed gait analysis. Kinematic and kinetic data were obtained using three-dimensional motion capture system during level walking, and joint movements of the lower limbs in the sagittal plane were analyzed by Visual 3D software. Differences in gait kinematics and kinetics among the groups were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) with Bonferroni post-hoc analysis. After adjusting for multiple comparisons, the significance level was p < 0.002 for MANCOVA and p < 0.0008 for post-hoc analysis.ResultsTwenty-two participants were MCI [mean ± standard deviation (SD) age, 71.23 ± 6.65 years], 33 were SCD (age, 72.73 ± 5.25 years), and 24 were NC (age, 71.96 ± 5.30 years). MANCOVA adjusted for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), gait speed, years of education, diabetes mellitus, and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) revealed a significant multivariate effect of group in knee peak extension angle (F = 8.77, p < 0.0001) and knee heel strike angle (F = 8.07, p = 0.001) on the right side. Post-hoc comparisons with Bonferroni correction showed a significant increase of 5.91° in knee peak extension angle (p < 0.0001) and a noticeable decrease of 6.21°in knee heel strike angle (p = 0.001) in MCI compared with NC on the right side. However, no significant intergroup difference was found in gait kinetics, including dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, knee flexion, knee extension, hip flexion, and hip extension(p > 0.002).ConclusionAn increase of right knee peak extension angle and a decrease of right knee heel strike angle during level walking were found among older adults with MCI compared to those with NC.

“…The current study design involved counting items that were not administered as correct because they were prior to the start point or basal point in cases requiring reversal. It cannot be assumed that items prior to a start point would necessarily have been answered correctly (Stålhammar et al, 2016).…”

This study compared prorated Boston Naming Test (BNT-P; omitting the noose item) and standard administration (BNT-S) scores in physical medicine and rehabilitation patients ( N = 480). The sample was 34% female and 91% White with average age and education of 46 ( SD = 15) and 14 ( SD = 3) years, respectively. BNT-P was calculated by summing correct responses excluding item 48 and estimating the 60-item score with cross multiplication and division. BNT-P and BNT-S scores were compared via concordance correlation (CC) coefficients; reflected and log transformed data were examined with equivalence tests. BNT-P and BNT-S scores showed almost perfect agreement (CC = .99). Transformed scores demonstrated equivalence (±1.1 points). Raw and scaled score differences were 0 in 88% and 96% of cases, respectively. Race and ethnicity accounted for item 48 outcomes while controlling for age and education. Findings support the utility of prorated BNT scores in rehabilitation patients.

“…The cognitive status of the participants was assessed on three cognitive domains: (1) memory (delayed recall and delayed recognition score based on the Huashan version of the auditory-verbal learning test, AVLT-H; Zhao et al, 2012 ); (2) speed/executive function (time spent on Trial Making Tests, TMT-A, and TMT-B; Salthouse, 2011 ); and (3) language function (verbal fluency test and Boston Naming Test, BNT; Stålhammar et al, 2015 ). Furthermore, depression was assessed using the Chinese version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30; Chau et al, 2006 ).…”

ObjectiveCognitive and motor dysfunctions in older people become more evident while dual-tasking. Several dual-task paradigms have been used to identify older individuals at the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This study evaluated gait kinematic parameters for dual-task (DT) conditions in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), subjective cognitive decline (SCD), and normal cognition (NC).MethodThis is a cross-sectional, clinical-based study carried out at the Zhongshan Rehabilitation Branch of First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, China.ParticipantsWe recruited 83 community-dwelling participants and sorted them into MCI (n = 24), SCD (n = 33), and NC (n = 26) groups based on neuropsychological tests. Their mean age was 72.0 (5.55) years, and male–female ratio was 42/41 (p = 0.112). Each participant performed one single-task walk and four DT walks: DT calculation with subtracting serial sevens; DT naming animals; DT story recall; and DT words recall.Outcome and measuresKinematic gait parameters of speed, knee peak extension angle, and dual-task cost (DTC) were obtained using the Vicon Nexus motion capture system and calculated by Visual 3D software. A mixed-effect linear regression model was used to analyze the data.ResultsThe difference in gait speed under DT story recall and DT calculation was −0.099 m/s and − 0.119 m/s (p = 0.04, p = 0.013) between MCI and SCD, respectively. Knee peak extension angle under DT story recall, words recall, and single task was bigger in the MCI group compared to the NC group, respectively (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.004). DTC was higher in the DT story recall test than all other DT conditions (p < 0.001).ConclusionKinematic gait parameters of knee peak extension angle for the DT story recall were found to be sensitive enough to discriminate MCI individuals from NC group. DTC under DT story recall was higher than the other DT conditions.
