Seventy independent-living residents aged 71–98 completed the Snellen Test to classify normal vision versus visual impairment and performed gait trials on a sensor-embedded mat at their typical pace, including a dual processing task. While baseline gait velocity and stride width were not significant, dual processing produced significant changes.

At-test was run with SPSS with significance p \u003C 0.05. Differences between normal vision and individuals with visual impairment were insignificant in gait velocity (p = 0.083) and stride width (p = 0.266) with normal gait, but significant in these measures during a dual processing task. Velocity was significantly faster (p = 0.016) in normal vision compared to people with visual impairment. Stride width was significantly greater (p = 0.022) in people with visual impairment compared to normal vision. There was no significant difference in double support percent in either condition. Visual impairment impacted dual processing performance shown by a slower velocity and greater stride width while performing a dual processing task.
