Shoes influence in women posture

Abstract

One of the most prevalent aspects is women with complaints of discomfort in the lumbar region for the use of high heeled shoe. Authors described that there may be a relation between attitude and the present discomfort, often associated with muscular fatigue and increase the forces of reaction soil during the use of such footwear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate possible changes postural associated with the use of different types of shoes and barefoot. Fifteen sedentary women were subjected to a static evaluation posture with the use of the software SAPO. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) repeated measures was used to investigate differences between the shoes in all variables postural analyzed. The results showed no significant difference in static position with the types of shoes and barefoot. It was concluded that the shoes did not interfere in static position.

No association between posture and musculoskeletal complaints in a professional bassist sample

“…Overall, it is not plausible that selection bias in our study is more prevalent and relevant than in other music medicine studies, and can, therefore not explain the differences in results. The (point) prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints <3 months was similar to other studies among musicians (Zaza, 1998;Pascarelli andHsu, 2001, 2001;Bragge et al, 2006;Abr eu-Ramos and Brandfonbrener, 2007;Wu, 2007;Fabiano de Souza Moraes and Papini Antunes, 2012;Kok, 2014), and higher as compared to the general population (Picavet and Schouten, 2003;Bot et al,2005). Most of the reported complaints in the left shoulder area and right wrist area in our population were chronic, i.e.…”

“…This may range from 40% to 60% of musicians in general (Kok et al, 2014;Wu, 2007), up to nearly 100% of bassists (Gilbert, 2008;Meidell, 2011). Multiple factors have been reported to contribute to chronic pain in musicians (Pascarelli and Hsu, 2001;Bragge et al, 2006;Wu, 2007;Fabiano de Souza Moraes and Papini Antunes, 2012). Musicians are engaged in low intensity, highly repetitive and long-lasting uninterrupted physical work, which resembles the impact of other workers (for example computer workers or cashiers) (Davies and Mangion, 2002;Wu, 2007;Ackermann et al, 2012).…”
