Resumo: | Obesity is a common chronic disease which can be defined by an excessive deposit of fat and corporal mass, that affects health and lifeexpectancy. Excess of fat and overweight are accompanying even moresecondary chronic-degenerative disorders. Although there are manyresearches about obesity and its consequences, there is too little availableexamining the biomechanical point of view. According to this context, apostural assessment of lower limbs in obese children is important todistinguish the physiological alterations of development from pathologicalones. Besides, it contributes to a better comprehension of postural alterations in obese children. The purpose of this study was to describe the lower limbs posture in obese children comparing to normal weight children. This project assessed 79 children, 37 obese and 42 normal weight children, from 7 to 10 years old. Marques methods were used to describe knee and ankle posture. To analyze the longitudinal medial arch, we used Staheli´s methods. Comparing obese to normal weight children, significant differences were observed about the Q angle, the ankle angle and the index of longitudinal medial arch. In addition, significant differences were observed in the incidence of the knees patterns posture, the ankle and the longitudinal medial arch among different groups. The differences observed can be possibly related to the position of the center of gravity in obese children and with the corporal adaptation to this alteration. |

Embora existam estudos sobre as conseqüências da obesidade, poucos deles são biomecânicos. A caracterização da postura dos membros inferiores das crianças obesas é importante para diferenciar as alterações fisiológicas do desenvolvimento das patológicas, além de contribuir para a compreensão das alterações musculoesqueléticas. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar a postura dos membros inferiores de crianças obesas, comparandoas com eutróficas. Foram avaliadas 79 crianças, 37 obesas e 42 eutróficas, com idades entre 7 e 10 anos. A análise qualitativa das posturas de joelhos e tornozelos, bem como das características do arco plantar, seguiu padrões estabelecidos na literatura. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente, com nível de significânciafixado em a<10%. Quando comparados obesos e eutróficos, verificou-se diferença significativa entre os grupos nas variáveis: ângulo Q, ângulo do tornozelo, índice do arco longitudinal medial, e na incidência dos padrões posturais de joelhos, tornozelo e arco plantar. Os resultados mostram que crianças obesas, tendo em vista a necessidade de redistribuir o peso corporal e aumentar a estabilidade, desenvolvem joelhos valgos e arco plantar longitudinal rebaixado.Universidade de São Paulo.
