Effect of wearing high heel shoes on musculoskeletal system with focus on osteoarthritis of the knee joint
 Draksel, Jakub ; Vacek, Jan (advisor) ; Šilhavá, Sylva (referee)
The main objective: The main objective of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive summary of existing knowledge about the effect of high-heeled shoes on the musculoskeletal system and to determine the context between this type of footwear and knee osteoarthritis through a systematic review of biomechanical and epidemiological studies dealing with this problematics. Methods: Keywords in the form of search query were searched in bibliographic databases. The target group was formed by biomechanical and epidemiological studies or their reviews and meta-analyses dealing with the relationship between wearing high-heeled shoes and knee osteoarthritis. The PRISMA method, including the flow diagram, was used to clarify and categorize the data. Results: Biomechanical publications show that wearing high-heeled shoes leads to kinetic and kinematic changes of the knee joint, especially during walking. The most significant and most frequently observed changes are the varus/adduction and flexion moment and the increased angle of flexion of the knee joint during the stance phase of walking. Current epidemiological studies on this issue are inconsistent, with 2 studies not confirming the link between wearing high-heeled shoes and osteoarthritis of the knee. In contrast, 3 studies report a positive relationship,...
