Main results of the experiment. Panel a Means and standard deviation of the relative proprioceptive weighting pooled for all the participants in the barefoot condition (white bar) and the bootee condition (black bar). Panel b Scatter plots of the baseline relative proprioceptive weighting in the barefoot condition vs. the absolute change in relative proprioceptive weighting in the bootee condition, and subsequent division between high and low baseline relative proprioceptive weighting group (HIGH and LOW). The threshold corresponds to the X axis value of the intersection between the 1 SEM line (dotted line) and the regression line (black line). Panel c and (d) Means and standard deviation of the relative proprioceptive weighting for the low baseline relative proprioceptive weighting group (c) and the high baseline relative proprioceptive weighting group (d) in the barefoot condition (white bars) and the bootee condition (black bars). *: statistical difference between the datasets (P < 0.05), NS: not significant
