a: Number of participants who spilled the water while performing the manual task.

b: The CRR value is 0.47, it means that there was an average of 0.47 correct responses per second when the participants were asked to walk at a comfortable speed while performing the verbal fluency task simultaneously.

MT: manual task; SD: standard deviation; SS: serial 3 subtraction; TUG: timed up-and-go test; VF: verbal fluency.
