How to teach children the correct walking posture, the child has finally taken the first step, which makes you feel very proud. At this stage, parents should carefully observe the baby's walking posture, because bad gait may be related to the disease. Let's see how to teach children the correct walking posture.
How to teach children to walk correctly? 1 Hold your head up and chest out, keep your upper body upright, look forward, and your hands naturally droop.
Fingers together naturally bend, and arms swing back and forth naturally with the shoulder joint as the axis.
The upper and lower limbs move in coordination, and the feet and toes alternately move forward or backward.
Babies who have just learned to walk often walk with their feet apart in a figure of eight, their bodies swaying, their arms stretching and trembling. And when you walk, sometimes your toes touch the ground and sometimes your heels are flat. This is a normal phenomenon, and he is exploring which posture to walk in. However, when the baby can walk independently, parents should pay attention to his walking posture. If abnormal situations such as gait instability, "scissors step" and "duck step" often occur, attention should be paid to avoid missing the best opportunity for correction or treatment.
Here are five common abnormal gaits:
1, scissors step. Scissors gait refers to a small and slow stride, scissor-like gait, with stiff legs, feet crossed inward and knees together. This gait is more common in children with cerebral palsy, who have a history of premature delivery, hypoxia rescue or febrile convulsions.
2, duck step. Patients with this gait swing on both sides of the trunk when walking, so that the contralateral pelvis is raised and the lower limbs are lifted forward; Every step forward, the trunk will swing to the opposite side, which looks like a duck walking, so it is called "duck step" This gait is more common in children with bilateral congenital dislocation of hip joint. The older they are, the more obvious their claudication is, and it is easy to form osteoarthritis in adulthood.
3. Follow the steps. Children's performance is that their heels can't be lifted freely, and they often need to rely on abduction of lower limbs and excessive bending of hips and knees to get their drooping feet off the ground. This is caused by triceps paralysis of the calf.
4. Step by step. Common in children with clubfoot, some children are congenital clubfoot, and some children are caused by nervous system diseases, such as cerebral palsy and meningocele.
How to teach children the correct walking posture 2 to do these three things, the baby's posture is better and the legs are straighter!
First, do not take the initiative, do not refuse.
Do not take the initiative to help the baby, do not take the initiative to teach the baby to learn to walk. Let the baby choose the time to master the ability according to his own speed.
Some parents let their babies learn to stand and walk when they are still young, in order to let their children win at the starting line, or to show that their babies are very powerful.
However, if the baby's legs are not strong enough to support the body, the baby's bone development and leg posture may be affected.
When the baby gains enough strength in the crawling process, the baby will slowly stand up and help the station and walk slowly. In this process, the baby will gradually gain greater strength and a more stable sense of balance.
At this time, parents should not refuse the baby, do not force the baby to climb, respect the baby's choice and ability, and protect the baby behind him.
Second, there is no need for a walker.
In the process of learning to walk, it is not recommended to use a walker for the following reasons:
1, the baby often tiptoes or moves backwards in the walker, and the wrong way of exerting force may lead to abnormal bone development in the baby's legs, which may lead to incorrect walking postures such as bowlegs or eight inside and eight outside when the baby grows up.
2. Generally, a walker has four wheels, which does not require high balance. Often used, so that the baby can not get the corresponding balance training.
Because the baby can move well with the help of the walker, it prevents the baby from expanding the range of activities. Studies show that babies who use walkers learn to walk independently about one month later than those who don't.
Third, don't compare, don't be careless.
According to the World Health Organization, it takes a baby about 12 months to 18 months to learn to walk independently, which shows how different each baby is.
Generally speaking, if the baby crawls actively and is in a good mental state, there is generally no problem. Mom and dad don't have to worry too much about the progress of other people's babies.
When learning to walk, the baby's walking posture is different from that of other children, and it is normal to have a little inner character. This is because the baby's legs are not yet mature, the strength is insufficient, and the center of gravity is difficult to control. As time goes on, the baby's walking posture will become more and more correct.
As long as mom and dad pay attention to creating a safe activity space for the baby and supplement the baby with vitamin D every day, the average baby can successfully pass the toddler period.
In case of any of the following abnormal conditions, please seek medical advice immediately:
1, one foot or both feet appear horseshoe inversion;
2. The lower limbs are unequal in length and the legs are asymmetrical;
My feet are weak, I still can't stand up for more than a year, and I still can't walk for a year and six months.
How to teach children the correct walking posture 3 children's five walking postures
He always falls down.
He has been able to walk for a month and a half, but why does he always trip? Until 1.5 years old, this is completely normal. After taking the first step, it will take about 3 to 6 months for the child to control his steps well. Without stumbling, it is impossible to completely control your own steps. However, children in this period often wrestle!
His muscles are not very strong yet. As for the maintenance of balance, it takes some time for his inner ear to record all the parameters. However, when he was about 2 years old, he would still stumble if he walked on the path in the park. Unless he does it on purpose, he must take him to see a doctor. If the doctor doesn't find any neurological problems, he may suggest that you see an orthopedic surgeon to rule out the problem of bone structure.
He walks like a crab.
His feet are inward like a big clip! This kind of walking posture is very common among toddlers. In the first few years, when a child walks, his head leans forward so that his feet are inward. Around the age of 3, when his thigh and calf muscles are stronger, this walking posture will disappear. If his feet are always inward, and you think this walking posture is really indecent, you can pay attention to let him sit cross-legged when sitting on the ground instead of crossing his legs. Or buy him hard-soled shoes, and he can correct his walking posture in less than a year.
He walks like a duck.
This is a physical problem because he is still flat-footed. A child needs to hone the muscles of the soles of his feet and develop the radian when walking. Before the age of 5, 95% of children's soles will naturally have radians. Pedal a three-wheeled or two-wheeled stroller, and the curvature of the child's feet will form faster. If you think your child is ugly when he walks, you can also let him play a game of holding a pencil, handkerchief or big button with his toes when he is about 2 years old. When in playing tag, hold the child's hand and let him step on the bucket; Or encourage him to walk on tiptoe. It is normal for a baby to have flat feet. On the contrary, if the baby has an arch, it is likely to indicate a nervous system disorder.
He walks like a cowboy.
His legs spread apart, as if he had been trained in equestrian. Before the age of 2, if his legs are like stents, you don't have to worry too much. However, if this situation persists, it may indicate that there are signs of calcium and vitamin deficiency and need treatment. In some cases, children's legs can also be put in plaster to help correct their legs. But this should be done by a doctor in the case of diagnosis.
He walks with his thighs between his legs.
The legs are X-shaped, which is generally more common in children who are unwilling to walk (they can't walk far, but they will hug if they walk a little) and are not active. Some people call it "big ass syndrome" rudely. Sometimes, this posture is the lack of muscle weight-bearing exercise. Generally, only a little exercise or even a little gymnastics training at the age of 8 can correct this indecent walking posture.
