RESUMO

Introduction: Nowadays is very clear the increased incidence of obesity in general population as well as its repercussion in various organs and systems. Specifically involving the locomotor system, studies indicate that obesity is related to knee and ankle measures, beyond difficulties in balance and functional capability. With the advent of motion in a threedimensional analysis, the pattern of normal and pathological gait became better characterized. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the motion in obese women graded I or II, and compare the gait analysis to healthy control peers, by taking reference the description of following linear motion: speed and cadence, step length, stride length and angular. Material and method: For that, a transversal analytical design study was realized with 24 obese women, aged 20-57 years old, with Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25.80 to 37.71 Kg/m (31.85 2.94) and 24 eutrophic control peers, aged 22-55 years and BMI ranging from 18.89 to 24.53 Kg/m (21.82 1.58). For statistic analysis considering teste t-student. Results: has showed a reduction in linear motion in obese women, with respect to the eutrophic ones p<0,05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the BMI is a factor that can interfere directly the space and timed measures of movement.
