Table 4

Summary of articles related to the effect of HBS on female.

Number	Participant characteristics ()				Shoe condition		Walking speed (cm/s)	Variables measured	Purpose	Main findings
		Age (years)	Height (m)	Weight (kg)	HBS (cm2)	Height of heel (cm)
3	15				-0.88, -8.92	3	112, 143	(i) COP	Evaluated the effects of the HBS of HH shoes	(i) Smaller COP deviations in larger HBS
								(ii) Perceived stability		(ii) The walking speed mainly affected the locations of the COP in the anteroposterior direction during gait
								(iii) Plantar pressure		(iii) A maximal peak pressure increased over the forefoot, midfoot, and rearfoot in larger HBS
										(iv) The participants felt more stable in larger HBS
4	13				-1.44, -7.7	7.8	100, 115, 200	(i) Plantar pressure	Be better to select one with a wide-based heel	(i) Smaller plantar pressure in medial, central, and lateral of forefoot and toe regions in larger HBS

Note: COP: central of pressure; HBS: heel base support; HH: high heels.
