Small children wear soft-soled shoes
Does it affect arch development?
ask
Mr. Li, who lives in New Town Royal View International, consulted:
Recently, Mr. Li, who lives in Xincheng Royal View International, gave his two-year-old daughter a look at shoes online and did not pick out the shoes he liked for a month. Some parenting bloggers on the Internet say that children cannot wear soft-soled shoes, which is not good for the development of the arch of the foot. You can find all the major children's shoe brands on the whole network, and the marketing advertisements say that the production is soft-soled shoes. Mr. Li would like to consult how he should choose the right pair of shoes for his daughter?
answer
Wu Xudong, director of the Joint Department of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, replied:
Two-year-old children develop self-regulation, and nowadays there are no shoes that are too soft, such as cotton shoes, flannel shoes, and shoes with such soles are definitely not good. Plastic shoes, which are very hard to wear, are certainly not suitable for children.
Generally, rubber-soled shoes and composite bottom shoes can be bought for children to wear. The choice of children's shoes should be stable first and can provide sufficient protection for children's feet. Shoes with too soft soles will be less stable and will not provide enough protection and support for children's feet.
When choosing shoes, you can use your thumb and index finger to press, feel whether there is support, if a pressure collapses, indicating that the sole is too soft and inappropriate. In addition, consider the sole is comfortable and non-slip, and the rubber sole can be selected for flexibility and strong grip.
There are also many leather shoes and snow boots for one or two-year-old children on the market, parents in the choice of these shoes, to see the sole material, rubber sole wearing is not too much problem. In short, children's shoes can not only look good, but also to see whether there is an impact on growth and development. (Reporter Li Xiaoxu)
Long-term stilted legs
What is the harm to the body?
Ms. Xu, who lives in the new city lotus pond moonlight, consulted:
My daughter loves the legs of Jiro and feels that she has developed a habit. She felt that this was quite unsightly and impolite, and she had heard that there were many hazards in the legs of the stilted erlang before, and she wanted to consult about what was specific?
Luo Jun, director of the Department of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy of Zhoushan Guang'an Hospital, replied:
In life, many people have the habit of stilted legs, feel more comfortable, and the posture is more elegant. However, often the legs of the stilted erlang may cause harm to the body, and many people do not understand the specific harm.
The human body has the ability to self-regulate to maintain balance to keep the body vertically grounded. Assuming that the right foot is on the stilt, the left ass is relatively high, if there is no self-adjustment ability, the person will fall to the left, out of the need to maintain balance, the lumbar spine will bend to the right, and then in order to maintain balance, the thoracic spine will bend to the left, and the cervical spine will bend to the right. The curvature of the spine is caused by the pulling force of the "tendons", and the nerves on the concave part will also be compressed, so that the nerve signals are poorly transmitted, which can lead to serious "tendon injuries", resulting in various diseases in the body.
In addition, the following hazards will occur in the legs of long-term stilts:
Early onset of degenerative arthritis. First of all, the "pressed leg" is under the pressure of the other leg for a long time, and over time, abnormal external forces lead to degeneration and wear of the upper knee cavity, and knee problems will appear. Some patients develop degenerative arthritis at a young age, and they all have a stilt habit under questioning.
Neurological compression syndrome. Because the femoral nerve on the front side of the thigh is in charge of sensation, if it is often compressed, it is easy to perceive paralysis, and the whole leg loses sensation, which is called "nerve compression syndrome" in medicine.
Varicose veins are prone to occur in the legs. The crushed foot suffers, the leg problem of the stilted leg is also very large, the posterior neurovascular of the leg is stacked on the other leg for a long time, in the case of the "airtight" fit of the two legs, the blood flow is not smooth, which will aggravate the incidence of varicose veins in the lower leg, and if it is serious, it will also lead to edema of the lower limbs, making small wounds difficult to heal and increasing the chance of leg ulcers.
Evolved into O-shaped legs. The legs are crossed and the stilted feet shrink inwards, resulting in problems such as hypertrophy and inflammation of the legs, swelling and pain, and may even become "O-legs", and the leg shape becomes unsightly.
Scoliosis. Chronic symptoms such as lumbar and spinal abnormalities, including scoliosis and herniated discs, are even more difficult to treat. The hip joints (joints between the hips and thighs) on both sides are high and low, and the pelvic position is deviated, and the angle of the lumbar and spine spine changes. As a result of the long-term stilted legs, the pelvic, lumbar spine and spine are deviated, which will not only cause low back pain, lower back pain, but also become "long and short feet".
The chain reaction caused by the long-term stilted legs, the human body will have problems from top to bottom, not to mention that some injuries cannot be saved.
The human body needs to constantly change postures to improve muscle tension and adjust the position of joints. Seesaw legs may increase the risk of disease, but this is a chronic process that accumulates over time, and it is recommended that people change their posture frequently, whether sitting, standing or lying down, including the legs of the stilted legs.
