Effects of high-heeled shoes on lower extremity biomechanics and balance in females: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Background High-heeled shoes (HHS) are widely worn by women in daily life. Limited quantitative studies have been conducted to investigate the biomechanical performance between wearing HHS and wearing flat shoes or barefoot. This study aimed to compare spatiotemporal parameters, kinematics, kinetics and muscle function during walking and balance between wearing HHS and flat shoes or barefoot. Methods According to the Preferred Reporting Items for S… Show more

“…Another study emphasizes that wearing high-heeled shoes significantly affects lower extremity biomechanics and balance in females. This includes changes in gait characteristics, increased ground reaction forces, and poor static and dynamic balance compared to wearing flat shoes or being barefoot (Zeng et al, 2023). High heels force a plantar flexed foot position, leading to inefficient energy use and requiring muscular adaptations.…”
