Core Tip
Core Tip: This review highlights motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a critical pre-dementia condition associated with an increased risk of falls in the elderly. This underscores the necessity for early MCR identification and tailored intervention strategies to mitigate fall risk, offering a novel approach to geriatric fall prevention. MCR, characterized by subjective memory impairment and gait slowing, requires focused assessment and management to enhance safety in the elderly population.
