简介：
Overview
This study investigates the effects of high-heeled shoes on lower limb mechanics during moderate high-heeled jogging and running. It compares experienced and inexperienced wearers to understand the impact of heel elevation on kinematics and ground reaction forces.
Key Study Components
Area of Science
- Biomechanics

- Footwear Impact Studies
Background
- High-heeled shoes are commonly worn but may affect biomechanics.
- Previous studies have not adequately considered the experience of wearers.
- Understanding these effects can inform footwear design and recommendations.
- Ground reaction forces are critical for assessing lower limb mechanics.
Purpose of Study
- To observe lower-limb kinematics during jogging and running in high heels.
- To compare the effects on experienced versus inexperienced wearers.
- To determine if heel elevation is the primary factor affecting mechanics.
Methods Used
- Three-dimensional motion analysis system utilized.
- Force platform configured to capture ground reaction forces.
- Subjects divided into experienced and inexperienced wearers.
- Measurements of anatomical landmarks taken for analysis.
Main Results
- Differences in kinematics observed between experienced and inexperienced wearers.
