Overweight and obesity are significant global health concerns that involve deficits in gait and balance that affect daily activities. Although much is reported about the effect of overweight and obesity on gait during unobstructed walking, not much is known about how overweight and obesity could impact gait under more challenging conditions, such as environments with obstacles.
The aim of this study is to systematically review and synthesize the available data regarding the effects of overweight and obesity on obstacle crossing during walking.
This review will follow the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and SPORTDiscus will be systematically searched with no limitations on publication date. Only full-text English-language articles published in a peer-reviewed journal will be included. Included articles must have compared obstacle crossing during walking in individuals with overweight or obesity to individuals of normal body weight. A total of 2 independent reviewers will select the articles and extract the following 4 sets of data: (1) study characteristics, (2) sample description, (3) obstacle crossing task protocol, and (4) main results obtained. If a considerable number of homogeneous papers are included, a meta-analysis will be conducted. A preliminary search was conducted in November 2021.
The results will include the article selection flowchart as well as tables and figures synthesizing the extracted data on the effects of overweight and obesity on obstacle crossing during walking. The preliminary search identified 73 original records, of which 5 articles met the inclusion criteria.
This review will present researchers and clinicians with an overview of published studies that have compared the performance of obstacle crossing for individuals with overweight and obesity to those of normal body weight. Gaining insight into the control strategies adopted by individuals with overweight and obesity is critical for safe and successful obstacle crossing in this population. We therefore believe that our findings could be useful for identifying people at risk of falls and developing and implementing fall prevention programs for individuals with overweight and obesity.

超重和肥胖是重大的全球健康问题，涉及步态和平衡缺陷，影响日常活动。虽然有很多关于超重和肥胖对无障碍行走时步态影响的报道，但对于超重和肥胖如何在更具挑战性的条件下（如存在障碍物的环境）影响步态，人们了解甚少。
本研究旨在系统回顾和综合关于超重和肥胖对行走时跨越障碍物影响的现有数据。
本综述将遵循PRISMA（系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目）指南。将对PubMed、科学网、Scopus和SPORTDiscus进行系统检索，对发表日期无限制。仅纳入在同行评审期刊上发表的全文英文文章。纳入的文章必须比较了超重或肥胖个体与正常体重个体在行走时跨越障碍物的情况。共有2名独立评审员将选择文章并提取以下4组数据：（1）研究特征，（2）样本描述，（3）跨越障碍物任务方案，以及（4）获得的主要结果。如果纳入了大量同类论文，将进行Meta分析。于2021年11月进行了初步检索。
结果将包括文章选择流程图以及综合超重和肥胖对行走时跨越障碍物影响的提取数据的表格和图表。初步检索识别出73条原始记录，其中5篇文章符合纳入标准。
本综述将向研究人员和临床医生概述已发表的研究，这些研究比较了超重和肥胖个体与正常体重个体跨越障碍物的表现。深入了解超重和肥胖个体采用的控制策略对于该人群安全、成功地跨越障碍物至关重要。因此，我们认为我们的研究结果可能有助于识别跌倒风险人群，并为超重和肥胖个体制定和实施预防跌倒计划。
