Gait Measurement

Caption

David Berry participates in a study at the University of Pittsburgh that involves measuring his gait speed based on how long it takes him to walk a marked interval in a hallway. A different Pitt study used this test to find that slowing gait can be an early indication of cognitive decline linked to a shrinking hippocampus.
