Abstract: Today, millions of women wear high-heeled shoes daily, and although it has been suggested that the use (HH) leads to an increased incidence osteoarthritis, back pain, deterioration posture. The study aimed investigate kinetic kinematic analysis in lower extremities while walking on compared kinesiotape application knee joints with HH shoes. Methods: A three-dimensional quantitative gait evaluation was performed without tape shoes, kinesio taping knee. Twenty-four healthy females (age, 21.6 ± 0.7 years; height, 1.64 4.2 cm; body mass, 57 3.9 kg) participated study. Spatiotemporal parameters cadence speed were significantly different among trials. Results: Knee hip joint sagittal plane range motion kinesin applications While total excursion (ROM) 57,5±8.7 degrees decreased 54.05±5.8 external flexion moment during early stance phase Conclusion: These findings showed Kinesio quadriceps femoris muscles affected cycle reduced degree moments Tape may be option reduce negative effect wearing walking, or provide support for deformities.
