Table 2.
Statistical significance of the differences obtained between the analyzed parameters in successive trials—(1–3, 2–4, 3–4). Trial (1)—walking without a phone with comfortable velocity. Trial (2)—walking without a phone with fast velocity. Trial (3)—walking with the phone with comfortable velocity. Trial (4)—walking with the phone with fast velocity. SLL [cm]—step length left, SLR [cm]—step length right, SW [cm]—step width, * statistically significant value p < 0.017.
