publication release 2.2 accompanying the Journal of Biomechanics and Scientific Reports publications

The previous release was accompanied by intermediate fBOS models from Sloot et al. 2025. The fBOS models have been updated to match the ones that appear in Sloot et al. 2025 exactly.

publication release 2.1

This release includes the age-specific fBOS models. The previous release, v2.0, should have included this information.

publication release 2.0

This release accompanies the two publications listed below, both of which have been accepted for publication. This release specifically includes data and scripts to plot the age-specific fBOS profiles that appear in Sloot et al.

pre-print release

This release captures the functions that were used to produce the functional-base-of-support (fBOS) polygons from recorded motion capture and force plate data of 27 younger adults. This release accompanies the pre-print describing the fBOS experimental and analytical methods. The pre-print is currently under review at a journal, as such, we may issue another release when it is published.
