It is still not known exactly what causes these problems. The purpose of this study was to compare overweight children with their non-overweight counterparts with respect to the leg axis and joint mobility.Methods: In all, 46 overweight children (girls: age: 8y. 9m. 1y. 2m., BMI-Percentile: 97.7 3.0; boys: age: 9y. 6m. 1y. 4m., BMI-Percentile: 98.2 2.5 (mean value standard deviation)) were compared with 42 non-overweight children (girls: age: 9 y. 3 mo. 1 y. 3 mo., BMI-Percentile: 26.9 20.8; boys: age: 9 y. 4 mo. 1 y. 2 mo., BMI-Percentile: 41.32 27.6). The passive range of joint motion in the lower extremity was assessed. Knee alignment was determined by digital photographs. Injury and pain history were recorded.Results: Overweight children showed deficits in the range of motion of the hip and the knee joints. Overweight girls had significantly higher knee valgus angles than non-overweight girls. In overweight children, ankle sprain (13/46) was the most common injury compared with six of 42 non-overweight children.Conclusions: Overweight children showed joint mobility restrictions and increased knee valgus angles when compared with non-overweight ones.
