Brief description Mobility problems, falls and dementia are among the major problems affecting older Australians with significant consequent disability. Treatment of such disorders carries an estimated annual cost of around 4 billion dollars. This study will examine the role of age-related brain changes in causing problems with walking, balance and cognitive abilities in the general community. The clarification of the role of the ageing brain in causing such disorders will guide efforts directed at preventing the occurrence of falls and dementia.
