A Multi-modal Imaging Model to Predict Mobility in Older Adults
Description: Project Narrative While walking was once thought to be a highly automated process, it has been shown to be increasingly complex, requiring additional neurocognitive resources, with older age. The overall objectives of this proposal are to: 1) identify the most important brain contributions to walking for older adults in a discovery cohort; and 2) test the generalizability of these brain associations with walking and general motor function in a replication cohort. This study will identify major neural mechanisms and targets to inform rehabilitation for individuals facing mobility challenges.
