Development of software tool for quantitative gait assessment in Parkinsonian patients with and without Mild Cognitive Impairment

The construct of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is considered as a transition state between normal aging and dementia. Originally it has been conceptualized as the transitional state between normalcy and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), more recently, it has been applied to patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) as pre-dementia state. The relationship between cognition and gait disturbances has received increasing attention and is well established.
