But have you ever noticed the way you walk?
The following walking posture
May indicate the risk of a disease,
Come and have a look with me!
Walking like this is a sign of illness.
Compared with the normal gait, this abnormal gait 10 is more prone to some diseases. This is also a signal to remind us that we are sick. Come and have a look. Is your walking posture healthy?
reeling steps of a drunkard
Sometimes we will see some people who obviously don't drink, but they walk like they are drunk and can't walk in a straight line. In fact, this is drunk step, which is clinically called ataxia. This posture is very dangerous, not only easy to wrestle with poor balance, but also may indicate brain tumor, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebellar lesions and so on. Therefore, this situation must be more careful and go to the hospital for examination in time.
Magnetic step
When we feel that our feet can't be lifted and the soles of our feet seem to stick to the ground, we can only wipe the ground and move forward. This walking posture is a magnetic step.
Clinically, this posture is also a typical symptom of patients with positive pressure hydrocephalus. Positive pressure hydrocephalus is a kind of brain dementia, which is caused by intracranial obstruction, making the circulation of hydrocephalus abnormal and accumulating in the ventricle.
Penguin step
Small stride, lean forward, stiff arms, small swing, and trembling or shaking at the same time. Its scientific name is panic gait or small step. If someone walks in this posture and has a stiff facial expression, it is very likely that there is Parkinson's disease or a tumor in the brain.
Scissors step
Scissors gait is similar to bowlegged gait, which is characterized by that the knees of both legs often stick together when walking, and there is a round gait, mainly due to insufficient leg strength. People with cerebrovascular diseases, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage or spinal cord injury often have scissors difference. To a lesser extent, it may also be caused by weakness of waist and knees, weakness of lower limbs and muscle atrophy.
Mop step
This gait shows that one leg is normal, and the other leg may have nerve or muscle dysfunction, so it can only be dragged forward slowly. When this gait appears, we should be careful. It has highly suggested that we have some diseases, such as sciatica, spinal stenosis, lower extremity vascular occlusion, osteoarthritis and so on. When diseases appear, we are affected by pain, which may even lead to lameness.
The soles of your feet hit the ground first.
If someone walks with the sole of his foot on the ground first, it is likely that his muscle control is weak, that is to say, it may be a stroke or a herniated intervertebral disc, which compresses the nerves and causes muscle and nerve function damage.
Kumingge
In medicine, the inner character is called genu valgus or valgus foot, which shows that the calf cannot be straightened, bends outward, the knees are together, and the ankle joint is valgus.
Be careful when walking with a serious gait. It is necessary to take a good look at whether you will get rheumatoid arthritis. After all, 85% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis will show this feature.
Walk on tiptoe
We often see toddlers tiptoeing around. This gait is clinically related to muscle tension, but it may also occur when the spine or brain is injured. In addition, using a walker for children too early may also cause children to walk on tiptoe.
Walk on your knees
This gait is more common in the elderly, mainly because the trunk muscles are in a state of overall decline, which leads to knee bending and needs the support of the front thigh muscles. As a result, the iliopsoas muscles in the deep abdomen are weaker, the trunk muscles are not exercised, and they fall into a vicious circle of aging.
Walking on one's back
At first glance, some people have a straight back and look full of energy, but after careful observation, they will find that their waist is folded back, which is mostly caused by the imbalance between abdominal muscles and back muscles. Usually, women with weak abdominal muscles will have this gait. Keeping this gait for a long time will make the waist feel heavy and tired.
Wrong walking posture
0 1 goes too fast.
Contrary to taking small steps, some people are used to walking a long distance in one step to speed up the progress. But this practice will make your feet particularly laborious, which will easily lead to uncoordinated and clumsy steps. More importantly, walking in this way is likely to strain the medial thigh ligament, cramp your feet, and fail to improve your walking speed. In addition, for people with poor knee joints, it will aggravate joint injuries.
02 Walking pelvis position deviation
The position of the pelvis is tilted forward or backward by a certain angle, that is, the so-called pelvic forward tilt and backward tilt, both of which are pathological phenomena of pelvic position deviation. In particular, the pelvis leans forward, which is a problem that many long-term sedentary office workers will have. When they walk, their abdomen leans forward and their whole center of gravity is on their heels. Long-term pelvic tilt will not only affect the appearance, increase the burden on the lower back and neck, but also cause problems such as body fat reduction, irregular menstruation and frequent headaches.
03 waibazi
If walking is an outward figure-of-eight gait, it means that the toe angle is too large. Over time, the knees will move outward, and the legs will become X-shaped, which may even lead to knee pain and accelerate joint degradation.
Correct walking posture
We have to walk every day, but do you know what the correct walking posture is? Chest out, belly in and head up. Do you really know what they mean?
When walking and stepping in daily life, keep your eyes straight ahead and your chin backward. Ensuring that the neck is in its physiological position helps us to support our head and prevent neck pain.
Relax your shoulders, stretch back so that your shoulders are parallel to the ground, and then stretch back. Keep your back straight. As long as you keep your back straight, your chest will naturally stand out.
Abdominal contraction, here we should pay attention to abdominal force, not abdominal inhalation. By slightly tightening the psoas and abdominal muscles, you can drive the thigh and reduce the burden on the thigh.
At the same time, when walking, your arms should droop naturally, not too hard, but swing naturally with the pace of walking.
In addition to these, there are walking postures that are most suitable for different people ~
The infirm: Open your arms and stride forward.
If the infirm want to achieve the purpose of exercise, walking too slowly can't achieve the purpose of keeping fit. Only by striding, throwing off your arms and moving your whole body can you adjust the functions of various organs and promote metabolism. It is best to take a walk 2~3 times a day for more than half an hour each time.
Obesity: long-distance walking
Twice a day, each time 1 hour, the walking speed is faster. This can make fat burn, thus reducing weight.
Hypertensive patients: moderate speed is appropriate, chest out.
Patients with hypertension should walk at a moderate speed, and their upper body should be straight when walking, otherwise it will oppress their chest and affect their heart function. When walking, we should make full use of the cushioning effect of the arch of the foot, otherwise the brain will be in constant vibration, which will easily cause dizziness.
Patients with coronary heart disease: slow and slow
Patients with coronary heart disease should not walk too fast to avoid angina pectoris. Walk slowly after meals 1 hour, 2~3 times a day for half an hour each time. Long-term persistence can promote the formation of coronary collateral circulation, improve myocardial metabolism and relieve arteriosclerosis.
Diabetic patients: swing your arms, swing your legs and hold your chest out.
When diabetics walk, they should try their best to increase their pace, hold out their chests and swing their arms, and swing their legs vigorously. It is best to do it after meals 1 hour to reduce the increase of blood sugar after meals. It is advisable to walk for half an hour or 1 hour at a time. However, for patients receiving insulin therapy, the time of insulin action should be avoided to avoid hypoglycemia.
Walking is a simple but beneficial exercise.
I hope everyone can keep the correct walking posture.
Insist on walking every day.
Come on ~
