@Is very large!Parents must pay attention to

The child suddenly limped, or suddenly fell well; some children always shouted pain, or even could not walk ... Some parents thought it was a problem with shoes, which was not necessarily.

"These situations may be caused by flat feet." Said Du Huyu, Director of the Fenteo District of Taiyuan Hospital of Peking University First Hospital, said.

How to judge whether the child is flat? Is the soles flat? What kind of flat feet need to be treated? Faced with these confusion, Du Huyu said that when the child's feet are unsatisfactory, parents must pay attention to and take their children to a specialist hospital in time.

A foot flat is flat foot?

"During my outpatient time, there are usually four or five parents to take their children to look at flat feet." Du Huyu said that the age of these children is big and small.

Du Huyu introduced that the so -called flat foot generally refers to the low flat of the arch, and even the arch was completely disappeared, like a tablet. "In fact, 100%of the newborn babies are flat feet. 90%of the children before the age of 2 are flat feet, and then they will decrease year by year." He said.

But is flat foot just as simple as flat? not really. In addition to the collapse of the arch of flat feet, patients with flat feet are also accompanied by the front foot exterior (thumb to revelation), heels, and abnormal gait, which is clinically called the symptoms of flat foot disease. Du Huyu explained that in clinical doctors, doctors usually explain flat foot and peaceful feet. There is no need to deliberately treat and intervene. When the flat foot continues to develop, the arch will continue to collapse, and the corresponding changes have occurred, which causes this disease to be the flat foot when running and walking have dysfunction. "

The causes of flat feet are roughly divided into two types: congenital and acquired. Congenital factors include: congenital bone adhesion or pendant boat -shaped bones, congenital ligament relaxation and genetic factors; Or it is caused by overweight, bad living habits or long -term severe diseases that cause abnormal bones in the foot, causing the ligament to be too relaxed and eventually form a flat foot. Among them, children's flat feet are usually congenital, and adult flat feet may be continued for children's flat feet or caused by other reasons. According to the relevant documents of the incidence of flat feet, boys are more likely to have flat feet than girls.

B is very harmful and cannot be ignored

If the child is born with flat feet, can you not care about it or even treat it? Regarding this, Du Huyu said that there are indeed some parents in real life that there are such misunderstandings. I feel that flat feet are a common phenomenon and there is no harm, so it does not need to be corrected, but in fact, this idea is wrong. Flat feet are right. Children's harm is very great.

Du Huyu introduced that normal heels and foot ligaments and joints form arch, so that the feet have good elasticity, can buffer the impact and shock of external forces, and also protect the nerves of the foot when walking. Because of this, human beings can fly, jump, and trek their long distances to do high difficulty moves, such as dance, gymnastics, track and field sports, etc. However, patients with flat feet are easy to fatigue when walking and running long distances. Not only in terms of speed, endurance, and explosive power are not as good as ordinary people, but the heels of patients with flat -footed feet may also compress the soles of the foot nerves. Symptoms of foot numbness and pain. In addition, because the foot soles are relatively flat, when these people move, the feet are not easy to reduce the impact of external forces on spine, brain, and internal organs, which may cause organs to damage the organs, affect normal development, growth, and health.

Not only that, flat feet may also cause knee to turn, causing short functional legs, which will harm the pelvis, make the pelvis and tail vertebral move downward, cause the thighs and pelvis to tilt, and eventually cause people to form spine side bending and oblique shoulders. posture.

Therefore, Du Huyu suggested that if the child has eight -character footnote, joint pain, fatigue, swelling and tenderness of the foot, feet, foot and back swelling, parents must pay attention to "see a doctor" blindly, do not blindly go to see the doctor, and do not go blindly to see the doctor. Instead, you should take your child to find a professional doctor for treatment.

C professional treatment scientific exercise

How to judge whether the child is flat? Du Huyu introduced that the current method of detecting flat feet mainly includes morphological measurement method, footprint analysis method, imaging testing method, etc., while clinically, the foot X -ray examination of the foot of the foot bow is used to determine the severity of flat feet. At the same time, he also introduced some methods to teach everyone to simply judge whether the child is flat foot.

Prepare a piece of newspaper or white paper, wet your feet, and then step on the paper. You can make a initial judgment according to the footprint form. If the inner side is covered, the child may be flat feet; otherwise, it is not. However, although this method is simple and fast, it is not absolutely accurate. Therefore, Du Huyu suggested that if necessary, you must take the child to the hospital for further examination.

Some parents are puzzled: Children are flat feet, must they be treated with surgery? For this, Du Huyu said that there are three cases of children's flat feet. The first type of malformations is lighter. There is no obvious situation of foot crooked, which is mainly based on functional exercise. The second type of children's flat foot deformity is slightly heavier, but the patients are relatively small. They can consider being maintained with foot pads. The situation of crooked feet can be corrected to a certain extent, and it is also conducive to children's growth and development. The last one is that the child's foot deformity is already very serious, and the foot pad cannot correct the flat foot. In this case, surgical methods need to be used for treatment. "It is recommended that parents get the earliest problems of their children's footsteps," said Du Huyu. The functional exercise of flat feet focuses on increasing the strength and stability of the sole and lower limb muscle groups, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the arch. Du Huyu introduced several kinds of exercise therapy commonly used in rehabilitation medicine, simple and practical-

1. Fascia relaxation method. Patients use a sitting position or standing position, stepping on fascia or massage balls, and rolling back and forth to relax and activate the soles. Keep the left and right feet for more than 2 minutes.

2. Toe guessing. Patients use sitting positions, and their feet have made "cloth", "scissors" and "stones", and have extended to the maximum extent in the process. Keep each action for 10 seconds, 10 times a group, and do 3 groups.

3. Foot exercise. The patient uses a standing position, the foot is flattened, headed by big toes, and the other four toes press the ground to shorten the distance between the toe and the heel. Note that keeping the heel in the middle of the action, the ankle must not have a large internal rollover, and the finger cannot be excessively flexed and stretched. Keep 10 seconds at each action, 10 times, and do 3 groups.

4. Lift. The patient uses a standing position, the feet are opened with the shoulders, and the big toes point forward. Keep the heel in a neutral position. The heels are kept stable, supporting the toes as the support, walking back and forth slowly. 10 times a group, do 3 groups.

5. Elastic band training. The patient uses a sitting position to bypass the elastic band to the bottom, and adjust the length of the band according to the personal situation. When the feet slowly step on the elastic band, the toes are flexed to the greatest extent, maintain the end position, and pay attention to the internal rollover in the process of action. Keep 10 seconds at a time, 10 times a group, and do 3 groups.

6. Flexible training of the ankle. Patients use sitting positions, and their feet do "polyx flexion", "back flexion", "inside", "reverse", and the maximum movement of the process and to the maximum angle. Keep 5 seconds at a time, 10 times a group, and do 3 groups. Shanxi Evening News reporter Zhang Mengying
