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.
