Note. TUG = Timed Up and Go Task; TUGman = Timed Up and Go with manual task (holding a cup of water; TUGcog = Timed Up and Go cognitive task (counting backwards from 50).
Interquart. = interquartile
Because a small number of participants performed these timed tasks considerably more slowly than their peers, mean and standard deviation do not necessarily accurately represent the central tendency and range of the sample. Therefore, medians and interquartile ranges are also provided.
CI = confidence interval
