Figure 4.

Comparison of subjects' sensations and the courses of meridians on the lower body. In each frame, the left image depicts all sensations in the respective quadrant of the body (see also Figure 2). The middle image shows all line-like sensations as well as sensation mean courses. The right image depicts the course of the meridian taking into account differences from the literature. The mean distance of the sensation mean course from the respective meridian as calculated with the GIS is given and denoted with a small d (for explanation see Supplementary Figure 2). For the minimum and maximum distance, the reader is referred to Table 3. Note, that for the right big toe, none of the relevant meridians (SP/LR) runs on the backside of the leg.
