N2  - Dementia is a group of symptoms of damage of higher cortical functions. The causes of dementia include brain diseases, most often chronic and progressive, leading to cognitive impairment typical of these disorders. Apart from progressive cognitive deficits, dementias may coexist with mental disorders, sleep disorders, epileptic seizures, parkinsonism and other motor disorders. Motor disorders, including gait disturbances and falls, represent a serious challenge to the health of older adults and contribute to loss of mobility and independence. Analysis of motor disturbances in the population of healthy older adults and those with progressive cognitive impairment is likely to support effective planning of pharmacological therapies and rehabilitation for this group of patients.<p />  <p>Language: pl</p>
