- Hyper-extension of the knees is a common postural fault caused by wearing high- heeled shoes

- High-heeled shoes shorten the calf muscles as these muscles shorten, they pull the knee into hyper-extension.

- Females have a wider pelvis to support child bearing;the wider pelvis creates a larger Q angle, and is well associated with increased incidence of orthopedic dysfunction.

- Female's have higher incidence of joint laxity.
