%X To determine whether cognitive-motor interference using ability of dual-task obstacle crossing could predict a risk of fall in 90 ambulatory individuals with spinal cord injury. Six-month prospective study. A rehabilitation center and community hospitals. Independent ambulatory individuals with spinal cord injury. Subjects were interviewed and evaluated for personal characteristics, dual-task obstacle crossing ability, and functional ability using the 10 Meter Walk Test, Timed Up and Go Test, and Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test. Then they were prospectively monitored for fall data every month for six months in total. A total of 90 chronic ambulatory individuals with spinal cord injury with an average age of 52.51£¿¡À£¿13.43£¿years, who mostly had mild lesion severity (n£¿=£¿71, 79%) and walked with a walking device (n£¿=£¿54, 60%) completed in the study. More than one-third of the subjects (n£¿=£¿32, 36%) failed in dual-task obstacle crossing. The failures were obviously associated with the fall (unadjusted odds ratio£¿=£¿7.07, P£¿<£¿0.002, power£¿=£¿1.000). Cognitive-motor interference is important for ambulatory individuals with spinal cord injury, as it could detect those with low functional ability and risk of future falls
