Shifting body weight to the front or back of the feet alters gait biomechanics.
Shifting body weight and pressure distribution to different regions of the feet directly impacts gait characteristics, posture, and lower-limb biomechanics.
The claim is specific, empirical, and testable. Multiple retrieved studies (such as papers 0, 2, and 3) explicitly examine how altering the center of pressure or weight distribution on the feet changes kinematics, posture, and gait biomechanics, thereby supporting the claim.

Demonstrates that using posterior walkers, which alter posture and body weight distribution, significantly improves gait characteristics and postural alignment.

Shows that shifting the foot center of pressure (COP) along the foot axis affects lower-limb biomechanics, spine kinematics, and lumbar moments.

Utilizes center of pressure feedback to deliberately shift sagittal foot loading anteriorly or posteriorly, demonstrating corresponding changes in gait and landing kinematics.
