步态在老年认知功能障碍中的研究与应用进展

Advances in research and application of gait in elderly cognitive impairment

步态是认知和运动等多功能和系统协同的生物学行为,老年人认知功能障碍的发生和进展过程常涉及步态异常现象,继而带来平衡障碍和跌倒风险等问题,而跌倒是老年人损伤和丧失自理能力的主要原因,严重威胁老年人的健康和生活质量。本文针对老年人认知功能性疾病中步态异常的研究新进展做文献综述,旨在强调步态参数在老年人认知障碍评估的重要性,提出步态指标作为认知功能障碍的先兆指征,以实现相关疾病实现预防、早期干预和延缓病情进展的目的。

Gait is comprehensive biological behavior requiring cognition and motor and other multi-functional and systematic col- laboration. The dderly cognitive dysfunction of the cognitive impairment diseases often involves gait abnormalities, which lead to the imbalance and risk of falls and other issues. Fall is the main reason for the elderly injury and loss of self-care ability that is a serious threat to the health and quality of life of the elderly. This paper aims at emphasizing the importance of gait parameters in the assessment of cognitive impairment in the elderly, and propose the gait indicator as a precursor of cognitive dysfunction. To achieve the purpose of prevention, early intervention and control of cognitive impairment disease progression of the elderly.
