Abstract
High heels are one of the choices of women in supporting appearance, in addition, some agencies also require female employees to wear high heels. But in high heels users the position of the feet is constantly in a plantarflele position so that the muscles of the lower limbs that serve to move the ankle joint experience fatigue that can result in changes from the ROM of the ankle joint. This study aims to find out the difference in ROM in the ankle joints of users of flat shoes and high heels. The study used comparative analytical methods with a sample number of 44 respondents meeting inclusion criteria and the data obtained analyzed with the Mann Whitney test. The results of joint ROM analysis on dorsofleksi movement were obtained on average in flat shoes users 19.64 degrees and on high heels 13.09 degrees with a value of p<0.001. In plantarfleksi movements are obtained on average in flat shoes users 42.77 degrees and on high heels 65.09 degrees with a value of p<0.001. In high heels users, the muscles of the lower limbs that move the ankle joints are shortening and experiencing fatigue so that there can be changes in ankle joint ROM in high heels users. The conclusion of this study showed a significant difference in ankle joint ROM in users of high heels and flat shoes with a value of p<0.05.
