Description

Min Seok Baek and co-authors present a 2025 study of walking problems in Alzheimer's disease. They compare patients at early and full stages with healthy peers. Each person had brain scans, thinking tests, gene checks, and a measured walk on a sensor mat.

Walking got slower and steps got shorter as the disease advanced. Time with both feet down rose, and step patterns grew less steady. These changes tied to amyloid build-up in wide brain areas and to thinning in key regions. Their path model runs from amyloid to thinning and poor thinking, and from there to poor walking. The work gives a clear chain that care teams can test and target.
