Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

One important issue in older adults with cognitive problems is the higher risk of fall due to decreased motor function and balance. The objective of this study is to evaluate the repercussions of mild cognitive impairment in balance in elderly.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Mild cognitive impairment is described as a transitional stage between normal ageing and dementia, and reflects the clinical situation where a person has memory complaints and objective evidence of cognitive impairment but no evidence of dementia. Mild cognitive is important in older people and it is also important to evaluate its repercussion in balance.
