Background This study systematically examined obesity research in occupational safety and
health regarding the use of various obesity measurement and classification methods …

Obesity has a critical impact on musculoskeletal systems, and excessive weight directly
affects the ability of subjects to realize movements. It is important to monitor the activities of …

Uncertainty that arises from measurement error and parameter estimation can significantly
affect the interpretation of musculoskeletal simulations; however, these effects are rarely …

Marker-based dynamic functional or regression methods are used to compute joint centre
locations that can be used to improve linear scaling of the pelvis in musculoskeletal models …

Background Research highlights the detrimental effects of obesity on gait biomechanics and
the accompanied risk of lower-extremity skeletal malalignments, increased joint stress, pain …

Background Obesity increases a child's risk of developing knee pain across the lifespan,
potentially through elevated patellofemoral joint loads that occur during habitual weight …

Obese children exhibit altered gait mechanics compared to healthy-weight children and
have an increased prevalence of hip pain and pathology. This study sought to determine the …

Gait analysis can identify injury-risk markers indiscernible to the naked eye. Inertial
measurement unit (IMU)-based motion capture circumvents optokinetic motion capture …

With the high prevalence of pediatric obesity there is a need for structured physical activity
during childhood. However, altered tibiofemoral loading during physical activity in obese …

A consensus exists that high knee joint forces are a precursor to knee osteoarthritis and
weight loss reduces these forces. Because large weight loss also leads to increased step …
