  "summary": "Altered walking mechanics in individuals with obesity can contribute to knee osteoarthritis. The gait deviations may become more pronounced during obstacle crossing. In women, body fat distribution may further influence knee load, especially when excess fat accumulates in the thighs and hips. However, relatively little is known about how regional fat distribution affects gait in women with…",
