At the same time, osteoporosis will reduce the hardness of calcaneus, walking on hard and uneven pebbles, and plantar tissue damage will cause plantar fascia inflammation, leading to local severe pain.
Diabetic patients. There is ischemic malnutrition in the peripheral blood vessels of diabetic patients, especially in the early stage of lower limb ischemia and neuropathy, patients are prone to problems such as perception, pain, cold and heat.
Walking on cobblestone roads may cause minor injuries, which can be quickly detected by healthy people, but diabetics are not sensitive to perception and pain, so it is not easy to detect these minor injuries in time. Once the injury is complicated with infection, it may lead to diabetic foot.
Flat feet. Most people have arches on the soles of their feet, which can not only cushion the vibration, but also protect the important nerves, blood vessels, tendons and other tissues on the soles of their feet. However, people with flat feet have low arches or even no arches, which leads to less elasticity of the soles. Therefore, people with flat feet are easy to get hurt when walking on cobblestone roads.
Patients with hypertension. The cobblestone road is uneven, and the elderly walk unsteadily, so it is easy to fall down when walking on the cobblestone road. Once the elderly with high blood pressure fall, it is easy to be in danger.
