Table 1 Motor and cognitive assessments to analyze differences between positive, non-, and negative responders, as well as impacts of changes in underlying motor and cognitive performance on changes in gait performance

From: Effects of a 16-week multimodal exercise program on gait performance in individuals with dementia: a multicenter randomized controlled trial
