Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we focused on the characteristics of a beautiful gait and the adaptation to and compensation for ankle plantar flexion for beauty, and aimed to investigate and experimentally clarify these characteristics and adverse aspect. First, the gait parameters of gait evaluated as more beautiful gait were clarified. The results showed that wearing high heel shoes that force the wearer into ankle plantar flexion had the effect of increasing height and leg length to a certain degree, but that these effects did not coincide with the gait factors rated as more beautiful, and that the compensatory movements and muscle activities suggested the possibility of causing health hazards. This was an interesting point of this study.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では,歩行動作について一般的視点で美しいと評価される一定の尺度が示されたことで,日常生活動作における振る舞いを向上させるひとつの視点を得た.また,美しさを求めて履いたハイヒール靴での歩行動作が,足関節の底屈(つま先立ち)を強いた状態になることによって,一部の筋が歩行動作に機能しないこと,またそれを補償するような動作や筋活動が示された.その動作は長期的に動きとして定着してしまう可能性があることが示唆され,健康被害の予防的観点を検討する有益な知見が得られた.
