Description
Anjali Tiwari published a study in 2025 on warning signs of thinking decline after stroke. About thirty percent of stroke survivors go on to lose thinking skills, yet doctors have no simple test to spot who is at risk. Tiwari asked whether doing poorly on both thinking and walking tasks marks the group in danger.
Thirty-two stroke survivors, half with impaired thinking and half without, took reaction and attention tests and walked while being timed. The impaired group was slower and far less steady on the thinking tasks, while walking gaps were smaller. Reaction speed alone predicted group membership well, pointing to a cheap signal worth testing further. A bedside test of this kind could be run in most stroke clinics.
