Effect of Obesity on Knee and Ankle Biomechanics during Walking

Effect of Obesity on Knee and Ankle Biomechanics during Walking

The purpose of this retrospective study was to quantify the three-dimensional knee and ankle joint kinematics and kinetics during walking in young participants with different degrees of obesity and to identify the associated effects by stratifying the obese participants according to their BMI.
