Resumos Cadastrados
Resumo Português:
Objective: To review studies regarding effects of highheeled shoes on body posture of adolescents.
Data sources: The research was conducted in the Scopus, SciELO and PubMed databases between 1980 and
2011, searching for articles written in English and Portuguese with the following key-words: “postureâ€, “center
of gravityâ€, and “high-heeled shoesâ€. Among 55 retrieved
articles, 20 were analyzed regarding posture of the spine and
lower limbs, the center of gravity, and the effects of highheeled shoes in the musculoskeletal system in adolescents.
Data synthesis: Frequent use of high-heeled shoes leads
to modification of the gravity center and body balance, which
can lead to changes in the alignment of body segments. This
has a negative impact on motor development of adolescents.
In this phase, it is necessary to keep the posture in order to
maintain the physiological growth and development of the
musculoskeletal system.
Conclusions:High-heeled shoes in adolescents can lead
to the development of postural disorders, among which
stands out the forward head posture, lumbar hyperlordosis,
pelvic anteversion, and knee valgus. The height and width
of the heels are characteristics that exert most influence in
the emergence of postural changes and body imbalance.

Resumo Espanhol:
Objetivo: Revisar estudios referentes a las repercusiones
del uso de zapatos con tacones en la postura corporal de
adolescentes.Fuentes de datos: Investigación realizada en las bases de
datos Scopus, Scielo y Pubmed, entre 1980 y 2011, incluyendo
artÃculos escritos en inglés y portugués. Se utilizaron los descriptores: «postura», «centro de gravedad», «zapatos con tacones».
Se encontraron 55 artÃculos, independiente de la delineación del
estudio, incluyendo 20 artÃculos relacionados a la postura de la
columna vertebral y miembros inferiores, a la localización del
centro de gravedad y a las repercusiones del uso de zapatos con
tacones en el sistema osteomuscular en adolescentes.
SÃntesis de los datos: El uso frecuente de zapatos con tacones causa modificación del centro de gravedad y del equilibrio
corporal, pudiendo ocasionar cambio en la alineación de los
segmentos corporales. Eso trae repercusiones negativas en el
desarrollo motor de las adolescentes, pues en esa etapa hay necesidad de mantenimiento de la postura fisiológica para que haya
el crecimiento y desarrollo del sistema musculoesquelético, que
cuando expuesto a la sobrecarga puede ocasionar desviaciones
posturales con potencial para que se conviertan en irreversibles.
Conclusiones: El uso de zapatos con tacones por adolescentes puede favorecer el aparecimiento de disturbios posturales, entre los que se destacan la anteriorización de la cabeza,
hiperlordosis lumbar, anteversión pélvica y rodillas valgas. Se
identificó que la altura y el ancho del tacón son las caracterÃsticas del zapato que más influencian en el surgimiento de
alteraciones posturales y en el desequilibrio corporal.
