Abstract: BackgroundThe prevalence of obesity is increasing in the population, particularly in women. Obesity has an impact on the musculoskeletal system, leading to knee and ankle overexertion, difficulty with balance, and functional disability. The aim of this study was to identify changes in kinematic parameters of gait in obese young women.MethodsA case-control study with 24 obese women (mean age 35.20 ± 9.9 years and mean body mass index of 31.85 ± 2.94 kg/m2) and 24 eutrophic women (mean age of 36.33 ± 11.14 and m… Show more

“…No significant correlations were found between BMI and any sagittal plane kinematic parameter during treadmill walking. This finding is in line with Silva-Hamu et al (2013), who reported similar knee joint sagittal movement during level walking in obese women and controls. Furthermore, all MVC moments were gravity-corrected and body-mass-normalized, and EMG Results are presented as mean (SE).…”

“…ANOVA revealed significant BMI effects on all spatiotemporal gait parameters and the total knee flexion ROM. In addition and in line with others (Lai et al, 2008;Silva-Hamu et al, 2013), significant correlation coefficients were detected between BMI and the spatiotemporal parameters during level walking. However, the corresponding r 2 -values indicated that variability of these parameters was not exclusively related to BMI.…”

“…30 In our study, the average body mass index for participants puts them in the overweight category. Related to that, it is known that excess body fat influences lung function by mechanical and nonmechanical mechanisms; therefore, this could have affected the results.…”

“…Obesity leads to several co-morbidities, the severity of which is proportional to excess body fat [18]. The current definitions of obesity using BMI have shown not to apply well for Africans [6].…”
