Effects of body mass and sex on kinematics and kinetics of the lower extremity during stair ascent and descent in older adults

The effects of body mass and sex on lower limb biomechanics during ascent and descent were examined in participants aged 50 to 75 with normal weight (n ​= ​19), overweight (n ​= ​18), and obese (n ​= ​8). Peak joint angles and joint moment of the lower limb were analyzed with the VICON motion analys...
