하이힐 높이가 계단 보행 시 앞정강근과 장딴지근의 근활성도에 미치는 영향

The Effect of Muscle Activity in Tibialis anterior & Gastrocnemius When women Ascend the stairs with different height of high-heel

Objective: The purpose of this study is when women climb the stairs, height of high heels was conducted to determine the effects of anterior tibialis muscle and calf muscle. Method: This study was experimented height of high heels(0 cm, 3 cm, 7 cm) with 20 people of the H University Physical Therapy in Chun-cheon. It climbed the stairs without railings. And using a metronome, This study adjusted the moving speeds for a one second climbing. Using an equipment EMG, It measured the muscle activity of Dominant side leg. The activity of the muscles according to the heel height were analyzed through repeated ANOVA (p<.05). Results: The activity of the anterior tibialis muscle was increased the higher the heel height, the activity of the gastrocnemius medial part muscle is decreased the higher the heel height (p<.05). The activity of the gastrocnemius lateral part muscle showed no significant different depending on heels heel height. Conclusion: Though this study, the more the high heels are high, the muscle of the tibialis anterior muscle activity increases, but gastrocnemius medial part muscle activity decreased.
