Abstract
Major changes were found in the rollover function of the feet, the ankle and knee joints and the lower back, while step length and balance were compromised. An increase in heel height forces the foot in an increased plantar flexion, which in its turn increases knee flexion and lordosis of the lower back. All changes can be related with each other in a plausible pattern of movement and control.
