Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a coordinated intervention of cognitive remediation training (CRT) and walking intervention on cognition and gait in the elderly.

Detailed description

This is a single blind randomized study designed to understand the effects of different interventions, walking interventions and cognitive remediation in particular, towards cognition and gait in the elderly. The study uses a 4 arm approach consisting of 4 intervention groups, with each intervention lasting for 12 weeks. The investigators will investigate the effect of each intervention towards cognitive function and gait. All interventions will be conducted on site at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, and will be focused on determining the effects of different combinations of walking, cognitive remediation, healthy living courses, and reading. Cognitive measures will include objective clinical measures related to dementia, and the gait analysis will include in clinic and "free living" measures related to falls.
