Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for comparison of the groups’ variables using baseline values as covariates.

Variables	Mean square		value	Partial Eta-square
WS	0.848	56.313	<0.001	0.506
CD	6.613	76.139	<0.001	0.581
SL	427.126	49.471	<0.001	0.474
SW	54.300	32.605	<0.001	0.372
SLT	2016.177	43.800	<0.001	0.443

indicates significant difference at alpha = 0.05.
WS = walking speed; CD = cadence; SL = step length.
SW = step width; SLT = stride length.
