  1. Results presented as: mean (standard deviation).
  2. Significant differences were determined using post-hoc pairwise t-tests after two-way ANOVA (Table 1).
  3. Statistical significance with Bonferroni correction was set at \(\alpha < 0.017\).
  4. *Significant Difference compared to Unperturbed.
  5. **Significant Difference between Trip and Slip.
  6. #Significant effects of slope.
