Abstract

In today’s society, many women wear high-heeled shoes. However, the effect that different experienced high-heel wearers worn same heel heights running have on the biomechanics has not been fully investigated. In the present study, the lower extremity mechanics in different experienced high-heel wearing who in same heel heights (1.5cm, 4.5cm) running were examined in 6 female subjects, three of whom could be considered experienced high-heel wearers. Kinematic data from a three-dimensional motion analysis system was collected to describe lower extremity mechanics while subjects run over ground at a natural speed. The results that in throughout the gait cycle, hip abduction was significantly decreased when experienced high-heel wearers worn low-heel shoes than in flat shoes condition, and knee flexion was significantly decreased. In addition, ankle dorsiflexion and abduction were significantly decreased when experienced high-heel wearers compared with inexperience high-heel in low-heel shoes condition. These results maybe more helpful when inexperienced high-heel wearers choose high-heel shoes.
