Assessing pain in cognitively impaired older adults.
BACKGROUND Accurate assessments of pain help healthcare professionals to identify its source and manage it appropriately. Pain in cognitively impaired older adults is difficult to assess and this can result in poor management and outcomes. In response to the vulnerability of this patient group, researchers have produced a variety of tools for pain assessment in cognitively impaired older adults...
متن کاملExecutive dysfunction correlates with impaired functional status in older adults with varying degrees of cognitive impairment.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported an association between executive dysfunction and the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL)s among older adults. This study aims to examine the association between executive functions and functional status in a cross-section of older adults with varying degrees of cognitive impairment. METHODS 89 individuals (mean age 73.8 years) were rec...
متن کاملCognitive Training among Cognitively Impaired Older Adults: A Feasibility Study Assessing the Potential Improvement in Balance
BACKGROUND Emerging literature suggests that mobility and cognition are linked. Epidemiological data support a negative association between cognition and falls among cognitively intact older adults. A small number of intervention studies found that regimented cognitive training (CT) improves mobility among this population, suggesting that CT may be an under-explored approach toward reducing fal...
متن کاملCortical thickness is associated with altered autonomic function in cognitively impaired and non-impaired older adults.
KEY POINTS The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is critical for adaptation to environment demands. Alzheimer's disease (AD), via frontal compensatory processes, may affect PNS regulation, thereby compromising older adults' capacity for adaptation, and increasing morbidity and mortality risk. Here we found that AD-associated neurodegeneration accompanied an overactive anterior cingulate cort...
متن کاملSimultaneously measuring gait and cognitive performance in cognitively healthy and cognitively impaired older adults: the Basel motor-cognition dual-task paradigm.
OBJECTIVES To investigate dual-task performance of gait and cognition in cognitively healthy and cognitively impaired older adults using a motor-cognition dual-task paradigm. DESIGN Cross-sectional retrospective study. SETTING The Basel Memory Clinic and the Basel Study on the Elderly (Project BASEL). PARTICIPANTS Seven hundred eleven older adults (mean age 77.2±6.2, 350 (49.2%) female an...
