The use of high heels in young women is becoming more frequent and early time, generating various musculoskeletal diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the acute effect of wearing high heels on FRA ankle during gait in young women not adapted. Through a nonrandomized clinical trial, 22 women between 18 and 25 years were evaluated. It was recorded and analyzed the progress on three conditions: barefoot, high heels 4cm and 8cm high. The reaction force data were obtained joint through inverse dynamics method. The three conditions were compared using ANOVA tests (one way) or Friedman, plus a post-test Bonferroni or Dunn's. There are significant differences on the joint reaction force in the anterior, posterior, medial (p <0.0001) and lateral (p = 0.0018), between the conditions, which increase with the heel of 8 cm in height. By contrast, no difference in the vertical component were observed. In conclusion, the heel height 8cm generates greater joint reaction force in the anterior and medial direction in young women not adapted.
