In obese persons, general and specific musculoskeletal pain is common. Emerging
evidence suggests that obesity modulates pain via several mechanisms such as mechanical …

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

Background Pes planus (flatfoot) is a common deformity characterized by the midfoot arch
collapses during walking. As the midfoot is responsible for shock absorption, persons with …

The combination of obesity and pain may worsen a patient's functional status and quality of
life more than each condition in isolation. We systematically searched PubMed/MEDLINE …

Sloped walking is associated with an increase of lower extremity joint loading compared to
level walking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse lower limb joint compression …

Background Musculoskeletal modelling is a common means by which to non-invasively
analyse movement. Such models have largely been used to observe function in both healthy …

Lower limb joint loadings are increased during sloped walking compared to level walking
and muscle forces are major contributors to lower limb joint forces. Therefore, the aim of this …

The article reviews the biomechanical factors that may cause overweight/obese children to
reduce their level of physical activity, while increasing their risk of overuse injuries and …

Work performance and individual joint contribution to total work are important information for
creating training protocols, but were not assessed so far for sloped walking. Therefore, the …

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 …
