In women society, shoes have high aesthetic values because they are considered improve appearance and enhance confidence. Contrast with attractive appearance, high heeled shoes give negative effects on health. High heeled shoes could reduce: muscle movement around ankle, total foot movement, and balance control that may cause injury. This research is purposed to measure biomechanical phenomenon on balance when wearing high heels with various type of height and contact area. Seven ladies (age: 18-21 years old, weight, 50-55kg, height: 148-157 cm, shoes size: 38) – who didn’t wear high-heeled shoes for daily activities – were chosen to become the subjects in the experiment. Each subject was asked to stand on bare foot and wore 11 types of shoes with various height (low, mid, high, very high) and base support (pointed, chunky, wedges). Balance assessment was done using force plate. They stood on dominant foot, while the other foot was elevated for 6 seconds. Stability test showed that the most unstable shoes is pointed high, followed by chunky, and the most stable is wedges high. Stability decrease as the contact area gets smaller and the shank curve angle and wedge angle get steeper. The instability is higher in medial-lateral direction than antero posterior direction.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Base of supports,Biomechanical evaluation,Force plate,heeled shoes,High-heeled shoes,Lateral directions,Shank curves,Stability tests[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]balance,base of support,force plate,heeled shoes,shank curve angle[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), Faculty of Sport Education and Health, Bandung – West Java, Indonesia.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICICI-BME.2017.8537780[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
