The dangers of stilts to the human body

  In life, many people have the habit of stretched legs, feel more comfortable, the posture is also more elegant. However, the regular stilts may also cause harm to the body, these hazards may not be well understood by many people.  The human body has the ability to self-regulate to maintain balance and keep the body perpendicular to the ground. Assuming that the right foot is on top, so the left hip is higher, if there is no self-adjustment ability, people should fall down to the left. Therefore, to maintain balance, the lumbar spine will bend to the right, and then the thoracic spine will bend to the left in order to maintain balance, and the cervical spine will bend to the right, so that the body can maintain balance. However, the spine is bent by the pulling force of the tendons, and the nerves on the concave side will be compressed, resulting in poor transmission of nerve signals, which can lead to serious “tendon injury”, resulting in various body ailments.  1, early appearance of degenerative arthritis First, the “pressed foot” long-term bear the pressure of the other foot, over time, abnormal external forces lead to degeneration of the upper cavity of the knee wear, knee problems will appear, many people “before the old age”, not too young to appear The first thing you need to do is to ask the person who has the habit of stubbing their feet.  2, nerve compression syndrome Because the femoral nerve in the front of the thigh is in charge of sensation, if often compressed, easy to perceptual paralysis, the whole leg loss of sensation, is the medical term “nerve compression syndrome”.  3, the legs are prone to varicose veins The foot that is pressed suffers, the leg that is stretched up is also a big problem, the leg that is stretched up, the rear neurovascular iteration on the other foot for a long time, in the two legs “airtight” fit, the blood flow is not smooth, will aggravate the chances of varicose veins in the lower leg, serious cases will also lead to lower limb edema It makes the small wound not easy to heal and increase the chance of leg ulcers.  4, the evolution of O-leg two legs overlapping stilted feet to the inward, will lead to the leg ligament hypertrophy inflammation, swelling and pain, and may even become “O-leg”, leg shape becomes unattractive.  5, scoliosis causes abnormalities in the lumbar spine and spine, including scoliosis, herniated discs, etc., and the treatment of such chronic symptoms is even more difficult. The position of both hip joints (the joint between the hip and thigh) is high and low, which in turn makes the pelvis deviate, and the angle of the lumbar spine and spine will also change. As a result of prolonged stilting, the pelvis, lumbar vertebrae and spine are out of alignment, which will not only cause back pain and lower back pain, but also turn into “long and short feet”.  The chain reaction generated by the stilts, the human body from top to bottom will have problems. Try to make your own posture ergonomic, so as not to cause spinal and muscular injuries, not to mention that some injuries are irreparable. Rome was not built in a day, for the sake of their health, posture must be maintained correctly.  No one posture can be maintained for a long time, the body needs to constantly change posture to improve muscle tone and adjust the position of the joints. Stretching your legs may increase the risk of developing diseases, but it will be a chronic process that accumulates over time. It is recommended that you change your posture frequently, whether sitting, standing or lying down, including stilting.
