INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study will begin to evaluate personalized preventative dementia treatments for Veterans at risk for developing dementia. The investigators will target Veterans with Motoric Cognitive Risk syndrome (MCR), which is characterized by slow gait speed and cognitive concerns (e.g., problems with memory or concentrations).

Interventions
Participants will receive twice weekly FPT, a progressive functional-based exercises that target optimizing leg force production and leg velocity.
Participants will receive twice weekly MBDT, a technology-driven gait training that is grounded in evidence-based rehabilitation treatment, rhythmic auditory stimulation.
For non-responders who were randomized to augment treatment, they will receive combined FPT and MBDT treatment.
