About this trial
This observational study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of the Figure-of-8 Walk Test (8FWT) in individuals with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS). The study will evaluate test-retest reliability, measurement error (SEM, MDC), and construct validity by examining the relationship between 8FWT performance and functional mobility measures. The findings are expected to provide evidence for the clinical applicability of 8FWT in assessing dynamic balance, gait performance, and cognitive-motor interaction in older adults.

Trial population
This study will include community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and above diagnosed with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS) and living in Balıkesir, Turkey. Participants will be recruited from individuals attending the Tazelenme University Coordination Unit. All participants will be able to walk independently and have sufficient cognitive and physical capacity to complete the assessment protocol.
