Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease(AD)is the most prevalent form of cognitive impairment.Alongside common cognitive deficits, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and compromised daily activities, a growing body of research indicates that AD patients exhibit various forms of motor dysfunction, such as eye movement, upper limb movement, and gait and balance issues, even in the early stages, including the prodromal and preclinical phases of AD.This article introduced the presentation of motor dysfunction, its correlation with cognitive impairment and AD biomarkers, with the aim of aiding in the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of AD.
