      adults.

AB  - The study is aimed to examine balance control of slightly obese young adults 
      during quiet stance and during gait initiation with and without crossing an 
      obstacle. Forty-four young subjects were divided in two groups: control (BMI<25 
      kg/m(2)) and slightly obese (BMI from 25 to 35 kg/m(2)). Center of foot pressure 
      (CoP) and kinematics of fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) were evaluated using a force 
      plate and a motion capture system. During quiet stance with eyes open slightly 
      obese group showed increased mean amplitude and velocity of CoP in 
      anterior-posterior direction compared to normal weight subjects. During unloading 
      phase of gait initiation significantly greater and faster lateral CoP shift was 
      observed in slightly obese group compared to normal weight peers. Presence of an 
      obstacle increased amplitude and velocity of the lateral CoP shift similarly in 
      both groups. No BMI-related differences were found on L5 segment during gait 
      initiation, which may indicate that postural control was already successfully 
      performed in feet (CoP). We have shown that increased CoP parameters values and 
      thus increased postural instability during quiet stance and during unloading 
      phase of gait initiation is present not only in morbidly obese, but already in 
      slightly obese subjects.
