Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the kinematics changes in hip, knee and ankle during jogging while wearing shoes with heel height of flat (1.5 cm), low (4.5 cm) and high (7 cm) three conditions. We observed an increased motion of range of knee abduction-adduction and hip flexionextension in high heel jogging, which may induce high loading force in knee joints. In addition, we observed decrease in ankle inversion during heel height jogging gait. Collectively, these findings suggest that permanent wearing of shoes with heel height may contribute to knee osteoarthritis and higher risk of ankle sprain.
