What is the scientific basis for saying that the health status of the elderly can be judged by looking at the wear of the soles of their feet?

As the saying goes, you can see the leopard in the tube. This means that we can push the whole picture through a one-sided and sporadic detail. It is more effective to judge the health of the body in this way, because the subtlety of the human body is that any minor disease will be reflected by it in time. If we pay attention to our own details in life, we will certainly read different information. For example, you can see your health from the soles of your shoes.

When we walk, the shoes on our feet will bear all the weight of our bodies. At this time, we can judge the strength of our body from what we wear, and then infer the health status of our toes, legs, pelvis, spine and other parts.

Before judging whether there is any abnormality, we should first know what normal clothes should look like.

When walking normally, the stress on both feet is even, so the wear of the two shoes should be symmetrical, and the main wear parts are concentrated in the heel and forefoot. So, what are the abnormal wear and tear situations? What does this mean?

1, lateral wear of sole

When the outside of a pair of shoes is serious, it means that your knees are folded inward, which will directly lead to the outward bending of your calves and the so-called "O-leg" symptoms. At this time, the force exerted on the lateral side of the foot will be obviously greater than that on the medial side, causing the lateral side of the sole to wear.

Keeping this walking posture for a long time will lead to the wear of cartilage outside the knee, induce arthritis, and cause compression and pain to the hip bone.

2. The inside of the sole is worn.

When the inside of the shoe is seriously worn, it may be that the knee joint is everted, which makes the calf converge inward, and there will be an "inside figure" when walking or a serious toe eversion when walking, which will lead to this situation.

Long-term use of this walking posture will accelerate joint degeneration and cause discomfort to knees and lumbar vertebrae.

3. Asymmetric wear on both sides

If the two shoes are not symmetrical, it is because the hands of the two feet are uneven, and the reasons are complicated. It may be because the length of the legs is different, bad walking habits or pelvic inclination will lead to the deformation of our spine.

These abnormalities may be pathological, but it is undeniable that many times they are caused by our own bad walking habits. In order to avoid the harm of this bad habit to our health, it is necessary for us to adjust our walking posture. Living with some shoes is very harmful to your health.

Correct walking posture

You should hold your head high, straighten your waist, tighten your abdomen and spread your shoulders naturally; Force is to pay attention to the crotch, first lift the thigh and drive the calf forward; When the foot lands, the heel lands first, then the arch and toes land in turn.

Correct walking posture can not only make us look full of energy and vitality, but also avoid injuries to important parts such as knees and spine. I hope everyone can learn to walk correctly and walk out of vitality and health together.
