Clinical Trial Summary

Obesity is associated with functional decline , altered spatiotemporal gait parameters (e.g. lower gait speed, shorter strides, and increased step width), and a significantly higher metabolic cost of walking compared to people with normal body weight. Obesity also negatively affects balance control.This study will investigate foot progression angle in adolescents related to their weight and category classification based on the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) growth charts.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	foot progression angle for healthy group	participants in healthy group will be assessed for foot progression angle (FPA). The FPA is defined as the angle made by the long axis of the foot from the heel to 2nd metatarsal and the line of progression of gait	assessed immediately after the procedure
Primary	foot progression angle for overweight group	participants in overweight group will be assessed for foot progression angle (FPA). The FPA is defined as the angle made by the long axis of the foot from the heel to 2nd metatarsal and the line of progression of gait.	assessed immediately after the procedure
Primary	foot progression angle for obese group	participants in obese group will be assessed for foot progression angle (FPA). The FPA is defined as the angle made by the long axis of the foot from the heel to 2nd metatarsal and the line of progression of gait.	assessed immediately after the procedure
Primary	foot progression angle for underweight group	participants in underweight group will be assessed for foot progression angle (FPA). The FPA is defined as the angle made by the long axis of the foot from the heel to 2nd metatarsal and the line of progression of gait.	assessed immediately after the procedure
