The so-called "happy age group" of the general public is often degraded in physical function and slow in action, so it is often given a different look. According to a survey by the American Orthopedic Association (AAOS), in the happy age group of 65, 1 person has foot problems, some of which are congenital, while others are caused by congenital and acquired. What are the common problems with the feet? Some people feel pain when walking because their feet often grow cocoons, or they feel unbalanced and plantar fasciitis, which even affects their normal walking ability. The foot health of the elderly needs more care and attention to the small details of daily life, so as to eliminate the foot injury caused by acquired factors as much as possible. It is worth noting that the foot structure of the elderly group, including forefoot, arch and heel, has changed with age, so it can't be compared with ordinary young people. In addition to paying attention to the daily maintenance of bones and ilium, you need to be more careful in the choice of shoes.
Old people should have healthy feet and learn a lot about choosing shoes.
Foot health is directly related to body balance, activity and flexibility. According to another study by Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Hospital, "the quality of shoes" is one of the main reasons why the health of the elderly is red. How to help elders choose a pair of comfortable and functional shoes, so that they can walk freely and have the function of protecting their feet is a very important knowledge. When helping elders choose shoes, the first key is the "elastic shock absorption" function of shoes. A pair of good shoes need a thick and stable dual-core outsole to achieve the effects of shock absorption, support stability, protection and decompression, and make it easier for elders to walk. Moreover, shoes that don't fit will cause hallux valgus, and the internal space is not enough. The instep will press the foot, affecting blood circulation, and even the toes will be squeezed and deformed, and the skin of the foot will be worn out to produce wounds. At this time, what is needed is a pair of shoes with enough space and good elastic function, and healthy shoes with enough space for toes to move.
In addition, due to the thin fat pad and weak buffering force, plantar fasciitis is easy to affect normal walking. At this time, we should pay special attention to "light pressure relief" when choosing shoes: at present, there are ultra-light rubber soles on the market, plus ultra-light dual-core insole shoes, which are 20% lighter than ordinary shoes, which can reduce light foot pressure and make walking easier.
