Abstract

|
Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of dynamic and static balance ability and the change of
sensory system in the ankle region by wearing shoes with different heel heights.
Methods : This study was conducted for 30 women attending S university in Namwon city for 4 weeks from September 5, 2016 to October 2, 2016.The study group(n=15) was wearing shoes with a heel height of 7 cm and the control group(n=15) was wearing shoes with a heel height of 3 cm for more than 8 hours per day for 4 weeks.The dynamic balance ability was assessed using the YBalance Test, the static balance ability was assessed using FICSIT, and the sensory identification test was using the twopoint discriminant test.
Results : Differences in static balance ability within the study group were statistically significant(p<.05). The difference of static balance ability between study group and control group was significant(p<.05). The difference in the twopoint discrimination ability between the study group and the control group was statistically significant(p<.05).
Conclusion : The group wearing high heeled shoes had low sensitivity to sensation and low static balance ability. Therefore, it is considered that high heeled shoe is difficult to maintain balance by increasing foot fatigue and lowering sense of body.
