Prevention flatfoot

Prevention Flatcake should be held throughout life, because this disease can begin both in early childhood, and already in adulthood. This may be like a lifestyle (sedentary, standing type of activity), and with uncomfortable shoes - our payroll for the benefit of civilization.

What is flatfoot?

It must be remembered that flatfoot is a disease of the musculoskeletal system, which is characterized by a decrease in the height of the footpoints and some deviation from the outside.

Flatfoot is divided into longitudinal, transverse or mixed, but no matter how it is called, this disease affects the endurance, the performance and mood of a person. The stop is responsible for all our actions, and the loss of the center of gravity, which is happening during flatfoot, leads to violation of the ability to resist the loads. In a person, a patient with a flat-growing, often appear unpleasant or very painful sensations in the area of ​​the foot and lower legs.

Causes of the disease

The causes of the disease are diverse: ranging from excess weight (especially in children), injuries and uncomfortable shoes, ending with various diseases of the musculoskeletal system: parishes or paralysis of the foot muscles or leg muscles.

Many call one of the reasons for this disease - heredity. However, it is not. Cases of the disease with flat-refrigera associated with the hereditary transfer from parents in the world there are from 3 to 10%. In fact, most often, the roots of the disease go to childhood. It is children's legs that are most susceptible to the acquisition of flatfoot.

Our site emphasizes that in childhood, flatfoot with long-term treatment can be defeated, but in adult - only facilitate suffering or prevent the disease. If your type of activity is associated with a long standing, it is recommended to put the feet in parallel, and from time to time not to forget to rest. After the working day, make a foot massage, rub them, as much as possible barefoot on the grass, earth, all sorts of irregularities.

Both in adult life and in childhood it is not particularly recommended to walk on a solid smooth floor.

It is very important from younger years to make a warning of this disease: properly selected shoes, gymnastics, massages - it is easier to make prevention than to treat. The easiest way is to fully strengthen the body and provide the child to be active and movable.

Remember that in the summer it is best if the baby barefoot will run on herbal, sand and pebbles. Indian scientists have proven that Bosnoy Childhood is three times shortening the risk to get sick flat!

From infancy it is impossible to flicker the legs with close socks or sliders, you need to provide an opportunity to the muscle to move freely and develop, preferably not to wear shoes for a child. Do not lift and put a child on the legs before he starts to do it himself - you can apply irreparable harm. Let him crawl, floats - these loads will most beneficially affect its body.

To reduce the load on the feet and ensure their proper formation, you should not limit the child in motion and force it to stand next to you, give it the opportunity to move as much as you like.

How to choose shoes?

It is very important in the prevention of the disease properly selected shoes for both children and adults. It must be remembered that the kids are all born with flatfoot, and their health depends on our further knowledge and action.

There are several general rules when choosing a boot, both for adults and for children:

1. Only leather. Prefer high-quality shoes made of leather, no substitute or synthetic material will ensure the legs of due ventilation and skin breathing.
2. Heel and Wide Sock. For children, the height height should be about 0.5 cm, for an adult above, but not very high heels, so as not to dismiss the center of gravity.
3. Flexible sole. She must bend in her hands when buying and the more not to deliver discomfort when walking. Remember, a firm, not bent the sole is not distributed, whatever sellers would promise.

Unacceptable for a child both very free and very close shoes or sandals. Too short or narrow limit the movement of joints and fingers can lead to their curvature. Also close shoes slow down blood circulation, which leads to a rapid freezing of legs and as a result - inflammatory renal processes or bladder.

Necessary free boots leads to the fact that the child spars the gait and increased the risk of dislocation of the ankle joints.

Measure feet of a child

To measure the length of the foot of the child, it is necessary to put it on a sheet of paper and outline the foot, then measure the stop of the line from the extreme point of the heel to the longest finger. It is necessary that the difference between fingers and socks of the shoes was 1 cm. Measurements better to shoot every 2-3 months.

The backbone in children's shoes should be tough, and the heel is up to 2 cm (based on the height of the sole).
