Women's shoes and knee osteoarthritis.
We assessed whether wearing wide-heeled shoes has a similar effect on knee torque to narrow-heeled shoes by measuring the joint torques of 20 healthy women during walking. Wearing wide-heeled shoes had a 30% greater effect on peak external knee flexor torque than walking barefoot. Walking with wide-heeled and narrow-heeled shoes increased peak knee varus torque by 26% and 22%, respectively. Our...
متن کاملThe Effect of Knee Osteoarthritis on Excursions of Lower Limb Joints During Gait
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate excursion changes at the hip, knee, and ankle joints during gait in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) of varying severity. Methods: The method of research was causal-comparative (Ex Post Facto). A Vicon motion analysis system with 4 T-Series cameras was used to measure the kinematics variables. Fifteen normal subjects without KOA and thirty patien...
متن کاملKnee osteoarthritis and high-heeled shoes.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the effects of walking in high heels on joints in the legs. Since osteoarthritis of the knee is twice as common in women as in men, we investigated torques (forces applied about the leg joints) of women who wore high-heeled shoes. METHODS We studied 20 healthy women who were comfortable wearing high-heeled shoes. The women walked with their own high-heeled sho...
متن کاملShoes influence lower limb muscle activity and may predispose the wearer to lateral ankle ligament injury.
Lateral ankle ligaments are injured by hyperinversion of the foot. Foot position is controlled by the lower limb muscles. Awareness of foot position is impaired by wearing shoes. We aimed to determine the influence of wearing shoes upon muscle activity. Sixty-two healthy subjects underwent the same measurements, barefoot and with standardized shoes in a random order. Electromyography (EMG) was ...
متن کاملEMBOLECTOMY FORACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA
In this prospective descriptive study, all patients with acute lower limb ischemia who presented to Shohada Tajrish Hospital (STH) between July 200 1 and July 2003 were analyzed and followed for 6 months. The total population of 109 patients, with no significant difference in sexual distribution had a mean age of 64± 16 years. 23% had AF and 31 % had a history of MI, 'but in the ECG of 30%,...
