Previously, the GaitDem study provided proof-of-concept for the use of accelerometery-based walking assessment in clinical and real-world settings in supporting differentiation Lewy body disease(LBD)andAlzheimer’s disease(AD). Real-worldwalking assessment also provides insights into the impact of disease on everyday behaviours. Here, we aimed to assess the feasibility of accelerometery-based real-world walking assessment of PCA and describe differences between PCA and more prevalent neurodegenerative dementia syndromes, AD and LBD.  \nMethods: Fourteen participants with PCA (Age: 71 years(56-78); 57% female) wore an accelerometer (AX6, Axivity) affixed to their lower back for up to seven days. Using validated algorithms, real-world walking outcomes were derived including measures of walking quality (step velocity), volume (minutes spent walking, steps per day, bouts per day), pattern (mean bout duration) and variability (of bout durations). Data was compared to the GaitDem cohort, which included 36 people with AD (Age: 77 years(67-88); 58% female) and 46 with LBD (Age: 77 years(65-91); 17% female), following a similar protocol. Kruskal-Wallis Test assessed between-group differences with post-hoc Dunn tests. 26 controls (Age: 74(60-89), 58% female) were included for visual comparison (Figure 1).  \nResults: Twelve PCA participants completed seven days of real-world walking assessment; two completed 5-6 days. The PCA group walked faster, spent more minutes walking, took more steps and walking bouts per day (p \u003C0.01 for all) than the  \nThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.  \n© 2025 The Alzheimer’s Association.
