Shoes with high heels are the fashion choice for many women around the world. However, a new study proves that wearing high heels over a long period of time can permanently injure the body. The study is from Stanford University in the USA. A team of biomotion researchers did tests on the knees of women when they walked in flat shoes, shoes with 3.8-cm heels and in shoes with 8.9-cm heels. The results send a warning to women who want to wear high heels that they risk permanent damage to their knees. They said high heels put knees in an awkward, bent position that makes them function like aged or damaged joints. This increases therisk of the condition osteoarthritis, which could require surgery.
對(duì)于全球女性而言,高跟鞋都是時(shí)尚的選擇。但是,一項(xiàng)新的研究表明長(zhǎng)時(shí)間穿高跟鞋將對(duì)身體造成永久性傷害。美國(guó)斯坦福進(jìn)行了這項(xiàng)研究。生物運(yùn)動(dòng)研究小組對(duì)穿著3.8厘米平跟鞋和8.9厘米高跟鞋女性的膝蓋進(jìn)行了檢測(cè)。檢測(cè)結(jié)果對(duì)那些穿高跟鞋的女性提出了警告,穿高跟鞋有對(duì)膝蓋造成永久傷害的危險(xiǎn)。他們認(rèn)為高跟鞋將讓膝蓋成扭曲狀態(tài),導(dǎo)致膝蓋的活動(dòng)就像是老化,或是受到損傷的關(guān)節(jié)。高跟鞋也將增加患骨關(guān)節(jié)炎的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),這將需要手術(shù)來(lái)治愈。
Britain's Daily Express newspaper reports a recent survey of 1,200 women that shows how popular high heelsare. It said 93 per cent of women say they felt sexier and more feminine when they wore heels, 88 per centsaid they considered themselves more stylish and 77 per cent said their heels made them feel slimmer. Manywomen prefer to ignore health warnings, and even the pain and discomfort of wearing heels, to look and feel good. A British doctor, Tim Allardyce, said he regularly treats women with problems caused by wearing heels. He said: "The odd angle at which the feet are held in high-heeled shoes increases the downward pressure on the knees by 25 per cent, placing significant stress on the kneecaps."
