title: Different plantar interface effects on dynamics of the lower limb.
abstract: The moments acting on the lower limb joints influence the life of the arthrosis. These loads may depend on the footwear and action style. The footwear factor was studied with three-dimensional gait measure system. Five young women in their 20s, wear 7 cm high-heeled shoes and sneakers, and walked in 10 m gait laboratory walkway. Inversed dynamics was used to analysis the torques at the ankle, knee and hip. Results showed that peak adduction moments at the knee and ankle increased and flexion/extension moments at hip increased with high-heel shoes compared with the sneakers. The high-heeled shoes result in greater load in lower limb joints especial to the knee and hip.
