1Values are presented as mean (SE) in degree unit. Repeated measures ANOVA with participants as a random effect and cognitive task, road condition as fixed effects. 2The groupings based on the post hoc analyses are indicated by the superscript and ranked in a descending order such as A > B > C. The same superscript means no significant difference. 3Negative values of the minimum gait parameter represent hip extension, knee extension, and ankle plantar-flexion, respectively. All p-value numbers smaller than 0.05 are bold.
