Real attribute of femininity, wearing high-heeled shoes is a dress conduct of women in daily and professional tasks. Objectives. Consider the kinematics changes induced by walking heels and determine a height of comfort in the least intrusive possible locomotor pattern. Materials and methods. Fifteen young women had normal-weighted were walked with shoes without heel and with eight-heeled shoes, successive heights ranging from 2 to 9 cm in freely chosen speed without heel shoes, with three step frequencies: ±20% Ffcwh (frequency step freely chosen to heel without shoes) and 0% Ffcwh. Results. The locomotor pattern was more affected by wearing heels at ±20% of frequency selected freely chosen in shoe without heel than 0%. The height of the comfort of the shoe heel in the step is 4.13 cm ± 0.34. |
