1. Impact of Cognition on Mobility and its Assessment
Cognition plays a role in overground walking and in complex walking environments. This chapter reviews the current evidence regarding the role of different cognitive domains and mobility.
2. Treating Clients with Dementia for Mobility Problems
Cognitive function has been shown to correlate with gait parameters and fall risk. It is increasingly being recognized that interventions to improve mobility and prevent falls in older adults and those with dementia must incorporate some form of cognitive training. This chapter examines cognitive-based interventions to improve mobility and safety.
3. Does Exercise Improve Cognition?

This chapter examines the current evidence for the use of exercise to improve cognition and describes evidence-based interventions to improve cognition in healthy older adults and those with pathologic conditions such as dementia.
