Predicting the onset of dementia with longitudinal performance-based measures of physical function
Objectives Older adults with dementia have reduced physical function; however, the extent to which declines in physical function are accelerated prior to dementia remains unclear. This study compared changes in three objective physical function measures in 518 older adults who did or did not develop dementia over the course of the study: time to complete a three-meter out-and-back walk (gait), grip dynamometry (grip strength), and time to complet…
Evidence for associations between Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test and motor skill learning in older adults
Age-related declines in motor learning may be related to poor visuospatial function. Thus, visuospatial testing could evaluate older adults' potential for motor learning, which has implications for geriatric motor rehabilitation. To this end, the purpose of this study was to identify which visuospatial test is most predictive of motor learning within older adults. Forty-five nondemented older adults completed six standardized visuospatial tests, …
Associations Between Fine Motor Performance in Activities of Daily Living and Cognitive Ability in a Nondemented Sample of Older Adults
In nondemented older adults, cognitive speed predicts ADL-related FMA after controlling for age and physical ability. Physical rehabilitation of FMA in ADL tasks should consider the importance of cognitive ability, even in nondemented older adults
