Abstract

The influence of various shoes on young girls' health has drawn much attention from the society. Hence, many articles have focused on the topic, that is to say, what kind of shoes are suitable for young girls' physical growth. In this paper measuring kinematics and dynamics parameters were used to make a comparative research. Based on the biomechanical comparison on different gaits, among those girls put on high- heeled shoes, putting shoes and other kinds of shoes individually, it was advisable that high-heel shoes and putting shoes have negative effect on young girls' normal growth.
