Remember the big lug who walked on his tiptoes in the Spring Festival skit? In fact, walking on tiptoe is also a sign of disease! Not only tiptoeing, like walking with arms not shaking, small stride, inward eight, etc., to a certain extent, are indicators of impending disease, to prevent it before it happens.
Walking posture one: walking speed is very slow
Suspected symptoms: short life expectancy
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States integrated nine studies to make a summary: the speed of walking can be a good predictor of longevity, and in people over 75 years of age is relatively more accurate. The average person walks at a speed of 0.9 meters per second, and those who walk at a speed of less than 0.6 meters per second have an increased likelihood of dying, while those who walk at a speed of more than 1 meter per second have a longer life expectancy.
Walking posture two: walking arms do not shake
Suspected symptoms: problems at the bottom of the back
Physiologists believe that when walking with the left leg forward, the spine will rotate to the right and the right arm will swing with it. If someone’s arm does not swing much when walking, it may mean that the mobility of his back is restricted and prone to back pain and injury.
Walking posture three: the palms of the feet first tapping the ground
Suspected symptoms: herniated disc or stroke
U.S. experts believe that when a healthy person steps, the heel first touches the ground, if someone walks with the palm of the foot first tapping the ground, mostly due to its weak muscle control power, which means that may be a stroke attack or herniated disc, compression of the nerve caused by impaired muscle nerve function.
Walking posture four: small stride length
Suspected symptoms: knee bone degeneration
The moment the heel touches the ground, the knee should remain straight. If this is not the case, it means that the mobility of the kneecap or the ability to extend the hip may be limited, and this functional degeneration can be solved by massage.
Walking posture five: rotund legs
Suspected symptoms: osteoarthritis
The rotundity referred to here does not refer to rickets in childhood, but is formed later in life in walking by itself. Plastic surgery experts believe that this gait is usually caused by knee arthritis, if serious, can be corrected by brace.
Walking posture six: inward eight
Suspected symptoms: rheumatoid arthritis
This inflammatory condition causes an inward eight gait, and 85% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis will exhibit this characteristic. It is medically known as valgus knee or valgus foot, and is manifested by the inability to straighten the lower leg and bending to the outside.
Walking posture seven: walking on tiptoe
Suspected symptoms: possible brain damage
Walking on tiptoe with both feet is associated with muscle tension, which can also occur when there is damage to the spine or brain. It is important to note that children who are just learning to walk tend to have this gait temporarily and do not need to worry about it. If this is always the case, take your child to the pediatrician for a screening.
Walking posture eight: jumping and walking
Suspected symptoms: calf muscles are too tight
This gait is more common in women, podiatrists believe that this is because they wear high-heeled shoes for a long time caused by calf muscles too tight, the heel of the ground will quickly lift, it is advisable to wear high-heeled shoes less.
What is the correct walking posture
1, upper body stretching upper body straight, chin forward, head high, two shoulders backward stretch. Spine straight, slight breathing, slight rise and fall of the abdomen.
2.Straight knees are not stiff and inflexible, but make the straight knees walk without force. The knee joint is straightened and the pace becomes larger. As for how big the stride is, it should make you feel comfortable as well.
3, feet to the front of the upper body stretch, knees straight, walk up feet naturally forward. In this process, the key is to straighten the back leg. The front foot naturally to the front step.
4, swing arms swing arms on the walk is also very important, from time to time, you will see some people, walking, two hands in the coat pocket. This walk is not right. This walk two shoulders closed, walk up loose. Arms swing good or bad, but also to see whether the synchronization of hand and foot movements.
5, the heel first, and then the body weight to the toes when the front foot landing, the heel first, the body weight falls on the heel. Then, the body weight from the heel through the palm of the foot to the direction of the toe “roll”, and finally reached the toe.
