Exploring the Interaction Between Cognition and Gait in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment Based on “Physical and Spiritual Unity”

Abstract

Abstract: Maintaining normal life activity and functional performance requires the body to be with the spirit, the body to follow the spirit, and the body to be one with the spirit. As the body exists and the spirit arises, physical weakness leads to mental weakness, and gait disturbance is an independent risk factor for mild cognitive impairment, it can be imagined that people with a weak gait must have impaired qi and blood, and insufficient essence and fluids, which in turn leads to cognitive decline and the onset of dementia. The brain is the master of God, the spirit is the master of the body, the spirit dominates the functional activities of the internal organs and the operation of the qi, blood, fluid and essence, spiritual damage, damage to the integrity of the structural network of the MCI cerebral cortex and other structures will lead to damage to the body, resulting in gait disorders. Based on the theory of the unity of body and spirit, the interactive relationship between cognition and walking in MCI patients is explored, emphasizing the co-regulation of “body and spirit”, and providing a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of MCI.

Key words: physical and spiritual unity, forgetfulness, cognition, gait, mild cognitive impairment
