"Why don't you just not believe me?" My knees really hurt, and I even faintly hurt to walk. ”
"Don't think I don't know if you want to be lazy and careful, anyway, when the doctor finishes the examination, you will know it all." If you don't want to insist now, it is you who will regret it later. ”
A mother and daughter with a strong "smell of gunpowder" walked into the clinic of Liu Xun, deputy director of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine), and what triggered the dispute between the two was the jump rope that everyone was very familiar with.
Dr. Liu Xun told the Qianbao reporter that similar scenes can be seen in almost every outpatient clinic. Skipping rope helps to grow taller, and more practice can also get high scores in the physical test, so this simple sport has become popular in countless families in recent years. Many parents supervise their children to jump 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, and even more every day. As everyone knows, too much is too late, and the excess of skipping rope will bring damage to the child's body.
Dr. Liu Xun is interpreting for parents
To seize the last chance to grow taller
The mother forced her daughter to jump rope 3,000 times a day
The little girl Yuanyuan (pseudonym) looked at her mother, and then turned her head to look at Dr. Liu Xun, full of grievances. She is 13 years old, and since her first menstrual period at the beginning of the year, her mother, who has always given her maximum freedom, has set her sights on her jump rope, rain or shine, jumping 1,000 times a day.
Yuanyuan is 1 meter 58 tall and weighs nearly 120 pounds, and her mother's sudden change is actually due to anxiety about her figure. "Although she has come to menstruation, her epiphyseal is not yet fully closed, and if she can seize the opportunity of the last year, it is still very promising to climb 1 meter 6." Moreover, more exercise can also lose weight. I wanted her to be a little taller and a little thinner, to look a little more beautiful. ”
Since the summer vacation, the mother with full of expectations has increased the number of jump rope tasks for Yuanyuan, from the original 1,000 a day to 1,000 in the morning, middle and evening. The little girl can understand her mother's hard heart, gritting her teeth day by day, until not long ago, jumping and jumping suddenly felt pain in her left knee, when she did not move, she could quickly be relieved, and occasionally she could feel hidden pain when walking.
Yuanyuan told her mother about her body's feelings, but her mother did not think so, and even felt that this was her daughter who wanted to be lazy, and the mother and daughter "sawed" for several days without results, so they had to go to the hospital to seek professional judgment.
Dr. Liu Xun carefully examined Yuanyuan's body, which basically ruled out meniscal injury, but there was a high suspicion of tibialine nodule epiphysitis, and he was quickly diagnosed by X-ray examination. Yuanyuan's mother was suddenly dumbfounded, blaming herself for her previous words and deeds that had lost her mind.
Dr. Dong Ting is examining the child's foot
I heard from the doctor that my son couldn't jump rope recently
The mother was immediately anxious, "How can the child grow taller?"
Coincidentally! In the trauma clinic of Hangzhou Fuyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedic Hospital, Dr. Dong Ting recently received a boy Liang Liang (pseudonym) who was also injured by jumping rope overdose. He is 10 years old and is at an average level of height and weight among children of the same age. But because his mother is less than 1 meter 6 tall and his father is less than 1 meter 7, he pays special attention to his growth. I heard that more jump rope can tap the growth potential of children, and my mother began to grasp this matter from 3 months ago, staring at him every day to jump 2000-3000, just looking forward to a surprise. I didn't think about it, but what I was greeted with was fright.
Since about half a month ago, Liang Liang shouted that his feet hurt as long as he jumped on the rope, and he covered his two heels and said that he would not move again. The mother observed for several days that her son did not look like a pretend, so she rushed to the hospital for examination, and the diagnosis was calcaneal epiphysitis.
"Recently, the child can no longer jump the rope, although this pain does not lead to serious sequelae, but the longer it is delayed, the more difficult it is to alleviate, and how much will affect the child's normal activities." Dr. Dong Ting reminded Liang Liang's mother.
Unexpectedly, Liangliang's mother was immediately anxious: "What then?" How can a child who does not jump rope grow taller? ”
Dr. Dong Ting patiently explained that both calcaneus epiphysitis and tibia of the tibia nodule are sterile inflammations unique to children, and adults do not occur because the epiphysis has been closed. When carrying out jumping sports represented by jump rope, the calcane and tibia happen to be the two main points of force, and when repeatedly pulling and pulling, the epiphyseals of the two parts will appear sterile inflammation due to stimulation.
When symptoms are obvious, you should first stop resting to avoid strenuous exercise, and at the same time, you can also help relieve symptoms by physiotherapy such as local hot compresses and massage, and if necessary, you can also take anti-inflammatory analgesics.

Children injured by jump rope overdose abound
Doctor: Crazy jump rope isn't the only trick to growing tall
I hope that the child can grow taller, and the old mothers' ideas are understandable, but like Yuanyuan's mother and Liangliang's mother, it is indeed a bit extreme. To make matters worse, similar parents abound today, and it is not uncommon for children to be injured clinically.
Dr. Dong Ting said that the injury clinic of Fuyang Orthopaedic Hospital is open from Monday to Sunday, and she and her colleagues can meet almost every day, and on weekends, there will be more, mainly concentrated in the second to sixth grade students. Dr. Liu Xun also said that every time he sat in the clinic, he could encounter two or three, and the age of the injured child was extended from primary school to junior high school, because in addition to growing tall, he could also get high scores in the middle school entrance examination sports.
In addition, Dr. Liu Xun also found that among these children who were injured by jump rope overdose, girls were about 4 times that of boys. In his view, this may be related to the relatively single sports of girls, many boys like basketball, football and other running and jumping sports, parents will not have to stare at them jump rope.
In fact, both doctors said that the growth and development of children is completed by the joint promotion of sports, sleep, nutrition, emotions, genetics and other factors, and that just grasping exercise cannot play a decisive role. Ensuring adequate sleep and a balanced intake of nutrients are all important for children to grow taller. In addition, there are many sports, and it is not necessary to jump rope, swimming, hanging arm stretching, etc. can also help grow tall.
Of course, from the convenience of the exercise to consider, skipping rope is indeed a good choice, but you have to pay attention to the amount of control, according to the child's physical fitness, a day to jump 1000-2000 is appropriate, and in the jump rope to wear strong shock-resistant sneakers, and choose a flat ground, it is best to have an elastic plastic runway, in order to try to avoid the damage that may occur when jumping rope.
