AB  - OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to examine the influence that 
      visuospatial cognitive tasks have on gait function during DT treadmill walking, 
      and as a function of age. Conversely, to examine the influence that walking has 
      on executive functions involving visuospatial processing. METHODS: Twenty-five 
      young (26+/-6.1years) and 25 older adults (76+/-3.9) performed different types of 
      computerized visuomotor (VM) tracking and visuospatial cognitive tasks (VCG) 
      while standing and treadmill walking. Spatiotemporal gait variables, average 
      values and co-efficient of variation (COV) were obtained from 40 consecutive 
      steps during single- and dual-task walk trials. Performance-based measures of the 
      VM and VCG task were obtained during standing and walking. RESULTS: VM dual-task 
      walking had a significant effect on gait measures in the young age group (YG), 
      but no DT effect was observed in the old age group (OG). Visuomotor tracking 
      performance, however, was significantly reduced in the OG as compared to the YG 
      when tested in both standing and walking. The opposite was true for VCG; a 
      significant DT effect on gait performance was observed in the OG, but no DT 
      effect was observed in the YG. Success rate of the VCG task decreased during 
      walking, but only for OG. CONCLUSION: Controlling gait speed and objective 
      evaluation of the visuospatial cognitive tasks helps to determine the level of 
      engagement in the DT tasks. This is important in order to determine the 
      strategies used during the DT test protocols, i.e. cross-domain interference.
