The goal of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the immediate effect of heels elevation on the spine posture in a group of 100 healthy subjects (50 males, 50 females). The main question it aims to answer is weather high heels immediately affects spinal posture and pelvic position in the sagittal plane. Participants will undergo an elevation of 3cm and then 7cm of both heels, while their spine posture will be examined by means of a rasterstereography device.
