Mixed-factor ANOVAs revealed no main effect of task (F = 1.71, p = 0.196) and group (F = 0.71, p = 0.406) on DTC of gait, while there were significant main effects of both task (F = 23.75, p < 0.001) and group (F = 6.53, p = 0.015) on DTC of cognition. Simple main effects revealed that pwMS had a significantly higher DTC of cognition during…[Read more]
