Values are expressed as mean ± SD. p-values were determined by the repeated-measures analysis of variance. BL, walking without using a smartphone. TSBH, typing on a smartphone with both hands. TSOH, typing on a smartphone with one hand. TPNT, texting posture with non-task. cm, centimeters. s, seconds. %GC, % gait cycle.
