From: The size of the functional base of support decreases with age

Functional base of support (fBOS) area per age group. Areas are normalised to an individual’s foot length and foot width, with group averages shown in bold. The ellipses show the standard deviation of the marker positions across the group. Note that the heel marker has no mediolateral deviations because the y-axis of the fBOS passes through the heel marker10. The boxplots indicate the median and interquartile ranges of the surface area per group, with individual participant’s values indicated with gray dots and outliers with a red cross. The average profiles of the fBOS areas are shown on the right for comparison. Significant differences are indicated with the p value.
