Clinical Trial Summary

Obesity is a global health problem. It changes the measurement of the human body and makes a big change to move the body. The increased weight and mass change the way the limbs and whole body generate and react to force Excess fat also interferes with joint-muscle interactions that are important for functional capacity and postural balance The tendency to increase the thickness of the abdomen contributes to anterior movement of the COM of the body. The purpose of the study is to investigate the biomechanical effect of weight on foot stability in children.

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	risk of falling in static and dynamic situations for each group	The Biodex Balance System will be used to assess risk of falling	assessed immediately after the procedure
Primary	dynamic level of stability for each group	The Biodex Balance System will be used to assess level of instability	assessed immediately after the procedure
Primary	dynamic Postural stability for each group	The Biodex Balance System will be used to assess Postural stability	aassessed immediately after the procedure
Primary	ankle muscles peak and angle specific torque, power and work for each group	Isokinetic dynamometer will be used to assess ankle muscles (plantarflexors, dorsiflexors, inverstors and evertors muscles). it will be assess the peak and angle specific torque, power and work for those muscles.	assessed immediately after the procedure
