Alterations in over-ground walking patterns in obese and overweight adults
TL;DR: Overall, body mass and BMI were associated with peak flexion and ROM in the knees as well as single support, double support, stance, and swing phases, and body fat percentage did not exhibit correlations with measured gait features.

Effects of adiposity on postural control and cognition
TL;DR: Looking at motor and cognitive responses for overweight and obese adults compared to normal weight individuals by using both BMI and adiposity measures found the relationship between deteriorating postural performance indices and body fat percentage were greater than those found between BMI and posturalperformance indices.

Effects of adiposity on postural control and cognition in older adults.
Hao Meng,Stacey L. Gorniak +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, the findings indicate that increased adiposity in OAs is associated with declines in both cognitive function and postural control, and measures such as BMI and abdominal fat mass amounts/ratios offer the best insight to the impact of adiposity on Cognitive function andPostural control measures.

Correlation between subcutaneous adipose tissue of the head and body mass index: Implications for functional neuroimaging.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated how subcutaneous adipose tissue in the head region increases with respect to total body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI) and found that significant increases in the amount of fat between the dermal layer and the skull may result in high electrical impedance and/or increased light diffusion causing a lower signal to noise ratio during use of neuroimaging tools such as electroencepholography (EEG), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

Obesity Is Associated With Gait Alterations and Gait Asymmetry in Older Adults.
Hao Meng,Stacey L. Gorniak +1 more
TL;DR: OB may impair gait automation capacity in OAs because of the amount of fat mass surrounding the abdomen, which could be vital to interpreting the alterations in the gait of OAs with obesity.
