P 079 - How does load transfer with weight increase in children: A 3-year follow-up study

In an attempt to better understand several dysfunctions, musculoskeletal complications associated with childhood obesity, many studies have investigated the effects of obesity on plantar pressure distribution, foot structure [1], with the result indicating higher plantar pressure, flatter feet in obese children. But how does the dynamical force transfer when children obtain their weight? The way of force transference in feet, the transfer mechanism is still unclear.
