History of High Heels
High heeled shoes have historically apart from human culture. It was first documented in ancient Egyptian paintings show how men and women wear heels fees religious rituals and Egyptian butchers wore them to walk above the blood of slaughtered animals. In Greece and Rome, the heels are worn in theatrical performances to indicate social status. Whatever the purpose, five were ever apart of everyday life of ancient civilizations.
effects of high heels on the body
high heels are unique compared to other shoes because shoe anatomy. The structure of the heel bone orientation change of position in the foot and ankle, resulting in postural changes in the body.
1 The narrow toe box
shoe covers over your fingers is called the toe box. The design of most high heels, toe box tends to be narrow, reducing the space inside the shoe and an increase in friction between foot and shoe. This results in an increased risk of calluses and corns form on the underside. In addition, narrow or pointed toe box squeezes the ball, causing the bones in this field will be forced closer together. This pressure increases the likelihood of irritating the nerves that run close to the bone. Constant use of heels can worsen the nerve leading to irritation, inflammation of nerves called neuroma. This condition is associated with a numbing or throbbing sensation on the ball and can radiate to prstiju.Uski toe box also can exacerbate bunions and hammertoe deformities.
2 Heel Cup
, which covers around the heel is called a heel cup and often very hard and solid in high heels. In addition, the heel cup comes out ahead in the fifth results in friction between the back of the holder of the heel of the shoe. This increases the pressure on the back of the heel and overtime can create a bone protrusion in the area known as "pump bump" or Haglund's deformity, which can be painful when walking in their shoes.
3 Stilettos
increased heel height of the ball at the foot under the heel. The position of the foot and ankle plantarflexion called. As plantarflexion increases, the foot loses its shock absorbing ability and creates increased shock applied to the foot when the shoe hits the ground. This shock wave is transmitted through the joints in the foot, knee and hip causing leg and back pain when wearing heels.
increased plantarflexion of the foot and ankle, and shortens the calf muscle. This reduction reduces the ability of the calf muscles to lift your feet off the ground. Overtime work, shortened calf muscles can create strong Achilles tendon, which strains the tendon and causes pain in the area during the transition back to normal shoe accessories. In addition, the fifth change posture by increasing pressure on the ball of the foot and reduces pressure on the heel. This results in increased pressure in the knee joint and knee tendon strain, which leads to arthritis of the knee. Studies have shown that even a moderate heel height of 1.5 inches can significantly increase the pressure on the knee. Uneven distribution of weight and causes the wearer to lean forward, your heels may increase the risk of falling.
to prevent the negative effects of high-heeled shoes on the body
Statistics show that 35-65% of women wear high heels. However, there are preventive treatments that can relieve pain and reduce the side effects associated with wearing heels.
1 Custom inserts
Custom made inserts that are placed within the heel can reduce the impact body experience while wearing heels. Custom inserts arch support and heel of the foot by increasing the contact area of the foot and shoe distribution of weight to the middle of the foot. This can relieve some of the pressure from the heel and ball of the foot. Studies have shown that custom insert are clinically proven to increase comfort.
2 Stretching
As mentioned above, higher heels tend to shorten and contract the muscles of the foot and shortening of the Achilles tendon and calf muscles, resulting in increased load on the muscles and tendons. So stretching these areas can reduce pain and help in the transition between the toe with a comfortable flat shoes equipment. Wrapping a towel around the ball and pulling the towel toward the body stretches the bottom of the foot. It is usually recommended to hold the stretch for 30 seconds, alternating between each foot puta.Trkača 3-4 stretch is often recommended to stretch the Achilles tendon. This implies extending pushing against the wall and one leg forward and bent the other leg back and put ravno.Stopala put back by stretching muscles and tendons in the back of the leg. This stretch is held again in 30 seconds and alternate with the second leg 3-4 times.
3 Rotating kinds of footwear
alternating between support for athletic shoes, flats and heels can reduce potential problems associated with wearing high-heeled shoes.
