pubmed:abstractText |
Poor balance in older persons increases the risk of injurious falls during daily activities. Functional base of support (FBOS), the anterior-posterior proportion of foot length used in maximal sustained forward and backward leaning, tests controlled center of mass movement, a component of balance required in daily activities. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between FBOS and age and establish the reliability of this measure.
