The Research On The Plantar Pressure Comfort Of High-heeled Shoes

With the development of society and the rich material life, women is paying more and more attention on foot-care. They are not only content with the appearance, but also put forward higher requirements for the comfort and functionality of shoes. The research on high-heeled shoes comfort is because of the consumption demand.High heels are appealing to many women, but aslo bring on much discomfort and pain because of the overlarge partial pressure. Some women have to give up high-heeled shoes for the fear for pain; and aslo some suffer from foot disease, such as corns, callus, pollex valgus, et al. Nerve endings assemble together on the foot to form reflection area which connects to body organs. If the plantar pressure is overlarge, the blocked blood circulation will affect human health. Therefore, weather from feeling comfort or human health, it's neacessary to do research on female dearly beloved high-heeled shoes. For high heels, the discomfort is mainly caused by plantar pressure. This subject put emphase on the plantar pressure to find the relationship between the structre and comfort.The structre of shoe sole is an important part which imfluence the comfort of high-heeled shoes. In all constituents of the shoe sole, heel height, heel thickness, the curve shap of sole, plate form, the unevenness of shoe insole are the key factors which influence the plantar pressure distribution. The main task of this subject is to find the influence over plantar pressure caused by these factors and give out the scientific principle and plan for structre design to improve the high-heeled shoes comfort. This subject helps to overcome the hard problem that the pressure under the forefoot is overlarge and supply reference to the high-heeled shoe design for the corporation.Foot and shoe are in an interactive systeam. A deep understading of foot structre and sports biomechanics of foot is the prerequsition of comfortable high-heeled shoes. To design shoes, it's necessary to be foot-oriented. The high-heeled shoes only can be comfortable in accordance with the foot sports biomechanics. This subject analyses the foot sports biomechanics with high heels in detail to provide the theorotic basis for the structre design and production of high heels.In all pressure research, pressure measurement is essential. At home and aborad the systeam that can be used to measure the pressure between the foot and shoe is mainly the insole plantar pressure distribution measurement system. This subject develops a measurement systeam based on the programme development platform"Labview"and flexible sensors"Flexiforce". This systeam called"Labview pressure measurement systeam"can measure the static and dynamic pressure. The development of the systeam provides good working conditions for this subject.With the sufficient theoretical basis and conditions , this subject explores the influence on the plantar pressure by some key structre factors, and get some useful principles and tips for shoe structre design to contribute to the relative unity of comfort and beatuy...
