In exploratory analyses, we confirmed that the main findings regarding the positive effects of the combined condition (tDCS + walking) on the dual-task cost to gait were not related to gender by adding sex as a covariate (its role was not significant, p = 0.513) and by examining each gender alone (when comparing pre-cost of gait speed to post-cost in this condition, the effect was significant in the women, p = 0.025, with a strong trend for the men, p = 0.053, who were a much smaller group).
