The Mobility Brief eNewsletter
Walking, balance, and movement offer more than just mobility—they provide a window into the brain’s condition and function. In the latest Mobility Brief eNewsletter, we highlight key research on how walking while distracted may signal dementia risk, the role of vascular health across multiple neurodegenerative diseases, and surprising links between motor symptoms and brain lesions in Parkinson’s disease.
Also featured: studies exploring the connection between post-stroke fatigue and prefrontal brain activity during balance tasks, and a new pilot protocol testing whether peer support and wearable devices can help people with diabetes-related lower limb amputation stay active.

Does brain volume explain why walking while distracted is linked to dementia risk?
After a stroke, is the brain's effort to keep balance linked to fatigue?
Could brain damage in a key motor region be linked to better movement in Parkinson's?
How does a combination of health risks affect the brain across different neurodegenerative diseases?
Can peer support and a wearable device help people with a lower limb amputation move more?
