Project Description

Gait impairments and associated falls are common in dementia, potentially reducing mobility and increasing the problems of patients and carers. Gait and cognition are interrelated. Gait disturbance precedes cognitive decline and may differ between subtypes of dementia, and so gait could be a biomarker of dementia. We have extensive experience quantifying gait problems (in Parkinson’s disease and ageing) in our gait laboratory, and in the community using small portable devices.

We plan to extend these studies to dementia, encompassing subtypes (Alzheimer’s disease, Vascular Dementia and Dementia with Lewy bodies, plus controls). This project will assess if gait can: discriminate dementia sub-groups, examine the relationship of gait characteristics to cognition, and determine if real-world gait activity differs between subtypes. This study will characterise early stage dementia sub-groups and develop a simple, inexpensive home-based assessment method. This tool will enable a future longitudinal study to explore how gait can be used to predict disease progression.

The successful candidate will gain experience and skills in: cognitive testing; gait analysis; working with older adults and people with dementia; and reviewing scientific literature. They will also learn to manage a research project; publish their findings in peer reviewed scientific journals; present at national and international conferences; and participate in internal university events and use Microsoft Office, Matlab and statistical software packages.
