Short-Term Effects of Increased Body Mass and Distribution on Plantar Shear, Postural Control, and Gait Kinetics: Implications for Obesity

Context: Obesity is a growing global health concern. The increased body mass and altered mass distribution associated with obesity may be related to increases in plantar shear that putatively leads to physical functional deficits. Therefore, measurement of plantar shear may provide unique insights o...
