@jmusgravept discusses
the relationship between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and falls
in older adults. He explores a study titled "Perturbation-Based
Dual-Task Assessment in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive
Impairment," highlighting how cognitive decline affects
dual-tasking abilities and balance performance. Jeff emphasizes the
concept of cognitive reserve, comparing it to physical reserve, and
explains how cognitive load during tasks such as walking and
conversing can increase fall risk. Jeff aims to shed light on the
critical impact of cognitive function on the safety and mobility of
older adults.
