Research Abstract

In the present study, we designed and manufactured wide base of support (BOS)footwear, in which BOS was widened in the medial and lateral directions, and examined whether the wide BOS footwear can reduce the risk of fall caused by induced slip. It was demonstrated that more than 10 mm and 15 mm extensions of BOS in the medial and lateral directions, respectively, reduced the risk of lateral fall cause by slip during turning on a contaminated floor surface.
