Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular enlargement as a possible measure of Alzheimer's disease progression validated using the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative database
Sean M. Nestor,Raul Rupsingh,Michael Borrie,Matthew D. Smith,Vittorio Accomazzi,Jennie Wells,Jennifer Fogarty,Robert Bartha +7 more
TL;DR: Ventricular enlargement represents a feasible short-term marker of disease progression in subjects with MCI and subjects with AD for multi-centre studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait assessment in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease: the effect of dual-task challenges across the cognitive spectrum.
Susan W. Muir,Mark Speechley,Jennie Wells,Jennie Wells,Michael Borrie,Michael Borrie,Karen Gopaul,Manuel Montero-Odasso,Manuel Montero-Odasso +8 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that, in older people without history of falls, gait performance will deteriorate across the cognitive spectrum with changes being more evident under dual-tasking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Dual-Task Gait With Incident Dementia in Mild Cognitive Impairment: Results From the Gait and Brain Study.
Manuel Montero-Odasso,Yanina Sarquis-Adamson,Mark Speechley,Michael Borrie,Vladimir Hachinski,Jennie Wells,Patricia M. Riccio,Marcelo Schapira,Ervin Sejdic,Richard Camicioli,Robert Bartha,William E. McIlroy,Susan W. Muir-Hunter +12 more
TL;DR: Dual-task gait testing is easy to administer and may be used by clinicians to decide further biomarker testing, preventive strategies, and follow-up planning in patients with MCI.
Journal ArticleDOI
State of the art in geriatric rehabilitation. Part I: review of frailty and comprehensive geriatric assessment.
TL;DR: Frail elderly patients should be screened for rehabilitation potential and the team approach to geriatric rehabilitation should be interdisciplinary and use a comprehensive geriatric assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative gait analysis under dual-task in older people with mild cognitive impairment: a reliability study
Manuel Montero-Odasso,Manuel Montero-Odasso,Alvaro Casas,Kevin T. Hansen,Patricia Bilski,Iris A. Gutmanis,Jennie Wells,Jennie Wells,Michael Borrie,Michael Borrie +9 more
TL;DR: In older people with MCI, variability of time-related gait parameters increased with dual-tasking suggesting cognitive control of gait performance, supporting that this methodology can be reliably used in cognitive impaired older individuals.
