Note: If all three dual-task tests are selected, an average DTC result will be generated with better predictive value.
Data Summary
Interpretation
Disclaimer
Please note that the true probability of progression from MCI to dementia is affected by individual patient factors such as co-morbidities, medications used, diet, exercise habits, and other interventions. Accuracy of the results depends on the gait assessment quality. The results are estimates based on a study of 637 visits by 172 patients recruited from Geriatrics Clinics in London, Ontario, Canada.
This app is not for self-usage by patients. The results are meant to be used by medical professionals as an aid in clinical decision making by providing additional information to augment cognitive testing and clinical evaluation. Calculations must be rechecked, and clinical decisions or patient care must not be guided solely based on the use of this app. This app is not a substitute for clinical judgement.
The authors of this app cannot and will not be held legally, financially, or medically liable for any decisions or outcomes based on the use of this app. While the authors have tried their best, they cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information presented in this app.

Utility
This calculator app uses dual-task gait velocity cost to predict the probability that a patient with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) may progress to dementia in the next 1 to 4 years. Refer to the help text on each page (click on '?' button at the top right corner) to learn about using the app.
