According to the article, in a hospital in Beijing alone, in the past five years, 75 children with spinal injuries caused by practicing the "lower back" movement in dance were treated. They were all little girls. So many innocent children will face a painful life of lifelong paralysis, and there are families in Lacrimosa all day behind them. All this can be avoided.
"Lower the waist"-this is a common movement in dance, which requires the dancer to focus on the waist, and lean back his arms and upper body until his hands support the ground. The body finally presents the shape of an arch bridge. It is not difficult to see that this kind of dance is difficult for most people. So why does the child cause spinal cord injury in the process of completing this action? Spinal cord and brain belong to the central nervous system of human body. "It's like cutting the spinal cord into tofu brain with scissors." In the article, experts from Children's Hospital explained the principle of spinal cord injury caused by "lower waist", "circulatory blood is blocked and nerve ischemia dies." Children's soft spine filled with water can restore bones and ligaments as before. Once the nerve tissue is damaged, it is permanent and cannot be repaired. Experts further explained that after the scissors are loosened, the blood supply will be restored, which will cause severe edema, blood will circulate in the damaged nerve tissue, and the degree of injury will also be aggravated. After spinal cord injury, the surrounding muscles can no longer receive the instructions of the brain, and some senses and functions of the body begin to lose. External manifestations are fatigue, wrestling, inability to walk, and even paralysis. "
In the field of spinal cord injury, it is recognized that the effective treatment scheme is methylprednisolone hormone shock therapy. The American Society for Acute Spinal Cord Injury conducted three clinical trials at the end of last century, and found that high-dose methylprednisolone within 8 hours of acute spinal cord injury was effective for patients with complete injury and incomplete injury. There was no significant difference in the therapeutic effect between patients over 8 hours and placebo control group. In other words, once this kind of injury happens and the short 8-hour gold rescue window is missed, the current medicine is useless.
In fact, referring to the relevant teaching norms for children to learn dance, we can see that the China Dance Grade Examination Textbook published by Beijing Dance Academy 1993 was compiled according to the physiological and psychological characteristics of different age groups, which is also the only national China Dance Grade Examination Textbook approved by the former Ministry of Culture. In this set of teaching materials, the top ten are the popular courses for children aged 4- 13 to learn dance. In the sixth grade, it is suitable for children aged 9- 1 1 year, and there is lower back movement. However, in a large number of cases of low back spinal cord injury, the injured are concentrated in children aged 4-8 years. To say the least, this standard has been used for nearly 30 years. If problems are found during use, they need to be updated with the times. After all, children are the most important. The article quoted an authoritative expert in an open letter, reminding people once again that dancing is not equal to practice. "He pointed out that both at home and abroad, the enrollment and professional training of dance majors are generally set after 12 years old, because at this time, children's bones, muscles, joints and nervous system are basically mature, and their brains are well developed, which is suitable for education.
The all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty is naturally worth promoting. Painting, music or dancing, children's colorful hobbies also need parents' respect and support. But the premise of all this must be based on science. For the injured children, I hope that the progress of science and technology will give them more hope and improvement. As for the children who are learning and will learn dance, I ask every parent and dance teacher to protect every child from such harm in a scientific way. There is no turning back in life, so we must be responsible for the future!
