Effects of long-term wearing of high-heeled shoes on the control of the body's center of mass motion in relation to the center of pressure during walking

Highlights • Balance control changes after long-term use of high-heeled shoes were identified. • Experienced wearers adopted a specific strategy for a more efficient control. • More efficient weight transfer during DLS was seen in experienced wearers. • Ankle pronator moments were increased during S...
