Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Orthopedics
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • High-heeled shoes are commonly worn for professional and aesthetic reasons.
  • They can lead to discomfort, injury, and altered body balance.
  • Existing methods for determining safe heel heights are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an assessment system for predicting the maximal safe range of high-heeled shoe heights.
  • To utilize plantar pressure data and regression modeling for this prediction.
  • To reduce injuries associated with wearing high-heeled footwear.

Main Methods:

  • Collected plantar pressure data from 100 young healthy women using force-sensing resistor (FSR) sensors.
  • Participants stood on an adjustable platform while physicians estimated maximal safe heel height.
  • Analyzed FSR data with and without personal features using regression models.

Main Results:

  • Regression models based on right foot pressure data showed higher predictive power than the left.
  • Models incorporating two height measurements were more predictive than single-height models.
  • Including personal features with dual-height data yielded the best predictive effect.

Conclusions:

  • The developed system effectively predicts maximal safe high-heeled shoe heights.
  • Plantar pressure analysis, especially with personal features and dual-height data, is a viable method.
  • This approach can guide wearers in selecting safer footwear, minimizing bone and lower limb injuries.
