Figure 3
Evaluation of the base of support (BOS) when the subject walks using a walking stick (circle). (a) The subject is standing. (b) The subject is walking. The distance Wstick between the walking stick and the foot is constant in all the way. The area 1 is the BOS without an aid. Area 2 is the residual increased BOS because the walking stick is in use.
