Multivariate and univariate analysis results following a 2 × 3 RMANOVA assessing the influence of walking speed instruction and task on the maximum Lyapunov exponent (MaxLyE).

‘Λ’ denotes Wilk’s lambda; ‘F’ denotes the F-statistic (extent of the difference between group means).

‘p’ denotes the statistical significance; the threshold for significance was set at p < 0.05.

ML mediolateral measurement axis, VT vertical measurement axis, AP anteroposterior measurement axis.
