Older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) may demonstrate slower gait and worse cognitive task speed or accuracy during dual-task conditions. However, prior research has not consistently quantified cognitive performance during dual-task walking, and it is unclear whether changes in dual-task performance are consistent across different task combinations. The purpose of this study was to compare cognitive and gait performance during dual-task conditions in older adults with aMCI and those with normal cognition (NC).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>An observational cross-sectional study was conducted with 40 community-dwelling older adults, aged 70-95 years with aMCI (n = 18) and NC (n = 22). Gait (self-paced, fast-paced) and cognitive task performance (serial 3, serial 7 subtraction) were quantified during single-task and dual-task conditions.
