To clarify if Alzheimer's disease has an impact on activity level and postural control, we examined 17 elderly diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease (MMSE scores 21-29) and 18 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (MMSE scores 27-30) using the Frenchay Activities Index, Bergs Balance Scale, Timed Up & Go and Walking in a Figure of Eight. Mild AD subjects were less active and had lower scor...
