Abstract | Few biomechanical studies have examined obese individuals as primary subjects. However, some mechanical differences have been identified between overweight or obese individuals and nonoverweight movers. It is not clear how obesity affects the onset of osteoarthritis, for example, but it is evident that obesity does place significant limitations on walking and standing, as well as on other movements. This article examines a number of biomechanical problems that may be caused by obesity. (Author). |
