The influence of heel height and of construction of the heel on plantar pressure

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Contemporary footwear is a fashion accessory designed to satisfy customers. Health aspect is postponed to the background, and therefore on the market there are shoes that may endanger the foot. One of such displays is heel height, which changes the centre of gravity and can even hurt the human foot. Due to this, illnesses like foot splayed, vertical feet, hammer toes, bunions and shortened calf muscles, can occur. However, optimal heel height may have a beneficial effect on the foot, because it makes walking easier and reduces impacts when walking. On the other hand, high heel shifts the load of the foot to the front, where it leads to its congestion. The aim of this research was to determine the extent to which heel height affects walking in differentterrains. Walking in a variety of terrain was simulated by the inclined plane which was constructed for this measurement. This inclined plane imitated walking down the hill. Measurements were performed on the instrument PEDAR (R) (Novel
