The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of increased heel height in women's shoes on foot pressure during walking. An increase in heel height increased the maximum peak pressure under the metatarsal heads in the forefoot, decreased the time to maximum peak pressure under the metatarsal heads, and increased the rate of loading to the metatarsals during early support. The higher pressures noted with increased heel height were accompanied by a more uniform distribution of pressure beneath the forefoot. These findings may denote increased stress to the various tissues in the foot when walking in high heeled shoes, which may contribute to deleterious orthopaedic changes. Quantitative studies need to be conducted to determine whether orthopaedic changes occur with prolonged wearing of high heeled shoes.
本研究的目的是调查女鞋鞋跟高度增加对行走时足部压力的影响。鞋跟高度增加会使前脚掌跖骨头下方的最大峰值压力升高，减少跖骨头下方达到最大峰值压力的时间，并增加早期支撑阶段跖骨的负荷率。随着鞋跟高度增加而出现的较高压力伴随着前脚掌下方压力分布更加均匀。这些发现可能表明穿高跟鞋行走时足部各组织承受的压力增加，这可能会导致有害的骨科变化。需要进行定量研究以确定长期穿高跟鞋是否会发生骨科变化。
