Slow gait speed measurement for motoric cognitive risk (MCR) syndrome diagnosis lacks standardization. This systematic review identified heterogeneity in methods, suggesting a need for a comprehensive procedure to improve diagnostic accuracy for MCR.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Gerontology
Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

Motoric Cognitive Risk (MCR) syndrome is a significant predictor of dementia.
Accurate measurement of slow gait speed is critical for MCR diagnosis.
Existing MCR diagnostic protocols exhibit variability in gait speed assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and synthesize slow gait speed measurement practices in MCR diagnosis.
To identify critical constructs for a standardized gait speed measurement procedure.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review of studies detailing MCR diagnosis and gait speed measurement.
Searched multiple databases (PubMed, Medline, Embase, etc.) until January 2024.
Evaluated study quality using JBI Critical Appraisal Checklists and synthesized findings narratively.

Keywords:

Motoric cognitive risk syndrome measurement slow gait speed systematic review

Main Results:

50 studies with 55 cohorts were included, revealing significant heterogeneity in measurement tools, protocols, and cutoff values.
Common practices included manual stopwatches, a 4-meter walk with 2-meter buffers, and usual pace walking.
Analysis highlighted the need for cohort-specific cutoff values for slow gait speed.

Conclusions:

Current slow gait speed measurement in MCR diagnosis is heterogeneous.
A proposed 7-construct gait speed measurement procedure could enhance MCR diagnostic accuracy and consistency.
Further validation of the proposed procedure is required.
