Detecting Lower MMSE Scores in Older Adults Using Cross-Trial Features From a Dual-Task With Gait and Arithmetic

The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is widely used in clinics to screen for low cognitive status. However, it is limited in that it requires examiners to be present; and has fixed questions that constrain its repeated use. Thus, the MMSE cannot be used as a daily assessment to facilitate early...

Detecting Lower MMSE Scores in Older Adults Using Cross-Trial Features From a Dual-Task With Gait and Arithmetic
description The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is widely used in clinics to screen for low cognitive status. However, it is limited in that it requires examiners to be present; and has fixed questions that constrain its repeated use. Thus, the MMSE cannot be used as a daily assessment to facilitate early detection of cognitive impairment. To address this issue, we developed an automated system to detect older adults with lower MMSE scores by analyzing performance during a dual task involving stepping and calculation, which can be used repeatedly because its questions were randomly created. Leveraging this advantage, this paper proposes a learning-based method to detect subjects with lower MMSE scores using multiple trials with the dual-task system.
