Dual task walking costs in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: In the studies included in this review, mental tracking tasks, consisting of serial subtraction and verbal fluency, were found to be the most sensitive in detecting MCI-related changes in older adults, and could serve an important role as a target measure for evaluating the efficacy of interventions aimed at improving cognitive and motor function in older adults.
