Effect of High Heels on Strength of Knee Extensors and Q Angle in Adult Females - A Systematic Review

Abstract Abstract: Objective: To explore what the research suggests on the effect of high heels on the strength of
knee extensors and Q angle in adult females.
Data Sources: Study Design: A systematic review was conducted considering the data sources from
PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline, Science Direct, and Research Gate databases using the keywords
High Heels, Knee extensors Muscles, and Q angle which were identified, sorted, and screened according
to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria post which the studies were assessed or quality. Data is
extracted from a selected internet site such as the data sources from PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline,
Science Direct, and Research Gate databases. Articles then were screened with PEDro scale hence,
included in qualitative synthesis.
Result: A total of 60 published articles were selected out of which 43 articles were used to extract the
data 11 randomized control trials were screened according to the PEDro scale and the rest were
excluded.
Conclusion: In comparison to women wearing flat heels, the study indicated that women wearing
wedges and pointed heels had significantly less strength in their knee extensors. Heel height on average
is 3 inches. With the help of the data gathered for this study, it was confirmed that, when the heel
height was increased, there was a significant difference in the Q angle value between the zero and
three-inch heel heights when the subject was standing. While those who wear pointed and wedge heels
have a markedly higher Q angle than those who wear flat heels, their Q angle is normal.
Keywords High heels, knee extensors, Q angle.
