Summary

This study looks at whether changes in movement, like how fast you can tap your fingers, can help detect early signs of dementia. Researchers will study 200 people, some with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and some healthy, using a special glove to measure finger movements. The goal is to find simple movement tests that could spot dementia risk early.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of approximately 200 participants divided into two groups: 100 patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and 100 healthy control subjects. Participants will be recruited at the Neuropsychology Outpatient Clinic of the Neurology Unit, University Hospital "Renato Dulbecco", Pugliese Hospital, Catanzaro, Italy. MCI patients will be included according to international NIA-AA diagnostic criteria, while healthy subjects must show normal performance on neuropsychological screening. All participants will undergo clinical, anamnestic, and neuropsychological evaluation, followed by motor reserve assessment and kinematic evaluation at the IBSBC-CNR laboratories in Catanzaro using standardized motor tasks and a CE-marked sensor glove medical device. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants or a legal representative, when applicable.
