Abstract: Excessive forefoot pressure and enlarged support area were a consequence of obesity, mirroring the efforts of the obese subject to acquire a wider and stronger support base. Although this is originally a physiological change, it may result in maladaptative and degenerative musculoskeletal consequences. Re-education exercises may be advised, in combination with bariatric surgery in the morbidly obese, aiming at restoration of normal gait and posture, as well as at minimization of stress damage to bones and join… Show more

“…In male subjects, stepwise multiple regression analysis of force platform recordings have shown that body weight may account for about half of the variance of balance stability [7]. On computerized baropodometric recordings, during quiet standing, obese subjects have an increase of the peak pressure on forefoot and plantar ground contact area compared to control and overweight subjects [26]. In the present study, obesity was related to a decrease in postural stability when vision was Cruz-Gómez/Plascencia/Villanueva-Padrón/ Jáuregui-Renaud difference observed between obese subjects and lean/ overweight subjects might not have been strongly influenced by age.…”

“…A baropodometria provê indicações de como está a função dos pés e tornozelos na postura ortostática ou durante as atividades funcionais, além de prover informações sobre possíveis riscos de várias doenças ou situações tais como: diabetes, atrites, doenças neurológicas, padrões de marcha, ortostatismo e a pressão plantar que é a quantidade de pressão que o corpo exerce na superfície plantar e que fornece dados quantificáveis para a escolha de indicações terapêuticas, bem como, medidas resultantes dos diferentes tipos de intervenção, mostrando assim, ser um exame de consistência que pode trazer benefícios clínicos às mais diversas situações [14][15][16][17] . Desta forma, é um instrumento que permite através de registro adequado, condições de fornecer relevância clínica dos seus resultados.…”

“…These factors may be related to difficulties with the fit of retail footwear, which may be due to differences between foot and shoe last dimensions and/or morphology that are specific to those who are obese. The implications of a discrepancy between footwear and foot morphology/dimensions may be significant because the reduced sensitivity of the foot in adults who are obese means it is potentially at higher risk of injury from ill-fitting footwear (Birtane and Tuna, 2004;Fabris et al, 2006;Scheinfeld, 2004).…”
