4 walking postures make people distorted, deformed joints

Here are 4 walking postures that can cause the joints to deform, the body is curved, it should be noted:

Go to heels (go with the tip of the toe)

If you go with the toes, the front of the foot will be under the pressure of the whole body. This is easy to cause chronic injuries to the ankle joint (ankle area) and the toes. This posture will also increase the pressure on the knee joint, causing bone damage and soft tissue in the knee.

In addition, when walking with the tip of the toe, the calf muscles have to affect more force and for a longer period of time, making the calf larger.

Scuff

When walking in this way, the soles of “dragging” on the ground, there is no transition from the heel to the front of the foot, creating a very sloppy feeling.

At the same time, because this position cannot promote the buffer function of the foot, in the long run will cause chronic damage to the knee joint, ankle joint, ligaments and surrounding muscles.

Foot inward or out of excess – X -foot, the letter O (bow legs)

If walking with the feet too much inward or outward will change the exact direction of the muscle force.

In the long run, there is a risk of causing knee dislocations in or out (also known as bow legs or X -shaped legs). This is not only loss of aesthetics but also increases the incidence of arthritis.

The upper body is not correct

Bad habits such as stooping back, leaning to the left or right, putting your hands in the pocket when walking will affect the normal travel cycle, thereby affecting the health of joints and muscles in the lower limb.

If these conditions occur, you should try to walk again in a normal position. If it is not possible to overcome, a specialized hospital is needed to check if there is a birth defect in the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, joints or feet or not, for early treatment.

Dr. Anh recommends that when walking, it should be kept regularly and stable. When grounding, first touch the ground with heel, then move to the soles of the feet, and finally reach the toes.
