Recovery of the foot loading patterns of children with excess weight after losing eeight: A 3-year longitudinal study

Original language description

It is suggested that children with excess weight should lose weight to reduce plantar pressure and the risk of related injuries. However, whether the foot loading patterns of these children could return to normal after weight loss is unclear. A total of 147 children participated in this longitudinal study; 51 were selected for analysis-13 children who were overweight and 1 child with obesity reduced their weight to normal levels and 37 children maintained normal weights (control group). The plantar pressure parameters, including peak pressure, maximum force, and force-time integral were recorded using a Footscan plate system. Comparisons of plantar parameters and load transferences revealed that weight loss could effectively decrease the differences in foot loading distributions between the weight-reduced and normal-weight groups. After losing weight, the foot loading patterns of the children who were overweight recovered to the level of normal-weight children, and that of the child with obesity failed to reach the normal level. Losing weight is suggested for children who are overweight/obese to recover their foot loading patterns, to avoid further adverse influences on the foot/functioning caused by excessive weight-bearing. Further research exploring the findings of a cohort of children with obesity-who reduce their weight to normal levels-is warranted.
