Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare to investigate the effect of dual task performance on straight and curved walking in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment.

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dual task performance on the activity of the prefrontal cortex in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment during straight and curved walking.
* The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dual task performance on gait speed during straight and curved walking in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment.

Participants will: For mild cognitive impairment 65 and older who can do dual tasks.

* single task (motor task) : an exercise task, which will perform a 10-meter walking test and a figure-eight walking test.
* double task (motor task + cognitive task) : planned to perform a motor task and a cognitive task together. The cognitive task is scheduled to be a simple calculation problem so that it can be performed without great difficulty while walking.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Seniors with mild cognitive impairment over 65 years of age

A total of 30 subjects will perform four tasks per person for a single task (motor task) and a double task (motor task + cognitive task), and the test order will be randomly assigned. The subject's prefrontal cortex activity will be measured using fNIRS (NIRSIT, OBELAB). The single task will be to perform a 10-meter walk test and an 8-way walk test as exercise tasks. as not affected by acceleration and deceleration. The dual task will be carried out together with the exercise task and the cognitive task. The cognitive task will be a simple calculation problem so that it can be performed without much difficulty when walking.Subjects will perform a total of three iterations and have a break of 20 seconds before each task begins.
