Objective: To examine differences in gait and postural stability of obese and nonobese prepubertal boys.Design: Percentage of gait cycle in double support was examined to determine significant differences. Postural stability was compared using temporal and frequency measures of the center of pressure in static stance.Setting: Gait was examined using videography on a 30-meter walkway. Postural stability was examined using a measurement platform.Participants: Ten obese (>95th percentile in body mass index) and 10 nonobese (15th to 90th percentile in body mass index) prepubertal boys aged 8 to 10yrs,Intervention: Participants were examined at three walking cadences as determined by preferred gait cadence. Full vision, darkness, and visually confused conditions were used to accentuate static postural stability differences.Main Outcome Measures: In the presence of dynamic stability differences (gait), static stability measures further investigated stability differences.Results: Obese boys spent significantly (p
