Many older people with MCI have reduced gait stability. It has been shown that improved dual tasking during walking significantly reduces the risk of falling. An exploratory study was conducted to investigate the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract on gait parameters during dual-tasking. The results were better in the verum group compared to the placebo group.
