Compared with control interventions, VR\u2010based cognitive\u2013motor training was associated with significant improvement in global cognition measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. However, no significant improvement was observed for the Mini\u2010Mental State Examination. Borderline improvement was found for executive function measured by Trail Making Test Part B. No significant effects were observed for instrumental activities of daily living, depressive symptoms, or walking performance. Substantial heterogeneity was observed across studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>VR\u2010based cognitive\u2013motor training may improve global cognition in community\u2010dwelling older adults with MCI.
