Reduced Walking Speed in Subjective and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Cross-Sectional Study

Conclusion: Usual walking speed is reduced in a graded fashion with the early symptoms of cognitive impairment. Our results suggest that reduced walking speed at both usual and fast speed is associated with impaired cognitive function, and that walking speed could be affected at very early stages of neurodegeneration.
