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

New Findings What is the topic of this review? This narrative review explores past and
recent findings on the mechanical determinants of energy cost during human locomotion …

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 …

The increasing necessity of load-carrying activities has led to greater human
musculoskeletal damage and an increased metabolic cost. With the rise of exoskeleton …

Walking underwater reduces joint impacts, enhances stability and lowers the net body
weight of the patient during rehabilitation. It is a recent rehabilitation method and few …

Background Obesity is often associated with low back pain (LBP). Despite empirical
evidence that LBP induces gait abnormalities, there is a lack of quantitative analysis of the …

Background Obesity is an important risk factor for knee osteoarthritis initiation and
progression. However, it is unclear how obesity may directly affect the mechanical loading …

The main purpose of this study is to characterize lower limb joint kinematics during gait in
obese individuals by analyzing inter-limb symmetry and angular trends of lower limb joints …

Locomotor-respiratory coupling (LRC), phase-locking between breathing and step**
rhythms, occurs in many vertebrates. When quadrupedal mammals gallop, 1∶ 1 stride per …

Background Individuals with obesity demonstrate deficits in postural stability, leading to
increased fall risks. Controlling whole-body angular momentum is essential for maintaining …
