Plantar pressure measurements and surface electromyography (EMG) were used to
determine the effects of muscular fatigue induced by high-heeled gait. The medio-lateral …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in electromyographic (EMG) activity of the
lower limb muscles, and hip, knee and ankle kinematics during gait while wearing low-(4 …

A within-subject comparative study of walking while wearing low-heeled sports shoes versus
high-heeled dress shoes was performed to identify and describe changes in lower-extremity …

Plantar pressure assessment is a tool useful for study of the gait cycle. In this study, we
present a means of assessing the gait cycle using a temporal analysis of plantar pressures …

The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether a graded response in gait
kinematics, kinetics, and EMG occurs as shoe heel height increases. Four different shoes …

Human movement requires an ongoing, finely tuned interaction between muscular and
tendinous tissues, so changes in the properties of either tissue could have important …

The effects, in women, of heel lifts on EMG activity of the medial gastrocnemius and tibialis
anterior muscles were analyzed to see whether they were different from those of men. Six …

Objective Wearing high-heeled shoes may produce deleterious effects on the
musculoskeletal system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in …

High-heeled shoes cause postural changes, a loss in foot function, and increased shock
loadings during gait, which must be compensated by accommodations in the kinematics of …

This study aimed to examine the effects of high heeled shoes (HHS) wearing experience
and heel height on human standing balance and functional mobility. Thirty young and …
