Abstract

This paper makes an analysis and measurement on force distribution of plantar pressure for young females wearing different heel heights through F-scan plantar pressure measurement system.The result shows that: First,heel heights are the main causes that bring about the change in plantar pressure.Second,pressure time curve of each metatarsal shows a single-peak with a pair of flats while shows a double-peak with high heels.It suggests that high heels can damage female foot during fitness walking.
