Cognitive Function and Gait Performance in Home-based Health Services

This study explores the relationship between cognitive function and gait performance in older adults receiving home-based health services. Age-adjusted Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) scores were used to assess differences in cognitive function levels. Significant differences were found between groups, with Considerable Assistance group showing distinct variance. The research highlights the impact of cognitive abilities on gait and physical therapy interventions for seniors at home.

  1. Figure 1. Age-adjusted (mean + standard deviation [SD]) Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) scores by levels of cognitive function for persons undergoing home-based health services; symbols indicate significant group differences (p < 0.05, Bonferroni adjusted). Significant differences existed between Considerable Assistance group and all other Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) cognitive function groups; Independent and Requires Prompting groups were significantly different. *Adjusted for age at covariate value = 83.2 yr. **Significantly different in contrast to all other groups. †Significantly different in contrast to independent group.
