A Base of support (BoS) and B margin of stability (MoS) at foot touchdown (TD) and the C rate of increase in BoS until foot TD during the lean-and-release task (LRT). Results are presented as boxplots with the mean (line), median (x) and interquartile range between 25th and 75th percentile along with minimum and maximum values for all three age-groups [young (n = 12), middle-aged (n = 21) and older adults (n = 11)]. a: old statistically different to young (0.002 < p < 0.007); b: old statistically different to middle-aged (p = 0.03)
