Recently, British media reported that a survey conducted by the British Academy of Orthopedic Sciences showed that many podiatrists have found that the number of women suffering from toe deformity and foot pain in the UK has risen sharply in recent years.

Orthopaedic specialist: Snow boots wear for a long time

In the end, the snow boots will not cause harm to the feet? Yesterday, the reporter interviewed the Guangzhou Military Region Wuhan General Hospital Director of orthopedics Professor Cai Xianhua. He said that so far no patient has been admitted to the "Nine Characters" caused by wearing snow boots. According to medical analysis, most of the "inner characters" are related to heredity, which is caused by problems in the thigh joints and hip joints. However, wearing snow boots for a long time does hurt the feet.

The vast majority of snow boots in the market today are flat, no arc, and people's feet have arches, this flat bottom design of snow boots is not ergonomic, snow boots wear more energy, for a long time The tendons of the tendons and the soles of the feet are not fully rested and tend to cause tendonitis and fasciitis, but generally it does not cause serious injuries.

Children in the growing period should not wear snow boots, so as not to affect bone development. “The name of the snow boots may be misleading to the public, thinking that snow boots should be worn when it is snowing. In fact, snow boots are not suitable for walking outdoors, because the feet are difficult to find a balance point, and it is easy to sprain the ankle,” said Professor Cai.

Do not buy a boot to look good

Cai Xianhua introduced that the hospital orthopedic department treats a large number of patients who suffer from ankle, instep and toe injuries due to improper use of boots every year, especially young women, mainly in autumn and winter. The condition is mainly manifested in the following two aspects.

First, the hoop is too tight, resulting in an ankle injury, swelling in the leg and calf, and pain at the back of the foot. A tighter boot tube can make the leg lines look more beautiful, but the pursuit of too tight, too thin effect, the blood circulation of the feet and legs will be affected, the blood circulation of the peripheral veins will be blocked, causing leg pain , swelling, causing inflammation around the tendon, tenosynovitis and other diseases. It is recommended to try on when buying boots and walk 10-15 minutes. Boots should be placed in a space where they can be put into a finger, and the texture should be soft, breathable full-skinned fabric.

Second, the heel is too high, resulting in back pain. After putting on heels with too high heels, the body can not help leaning forward. The weight of the whole body is concentrated on the forefoot, toes and knees, which leads to overload of the muscle ligaments in the toes, legs, waist, etc., walking and standing for a long time. After the lower limbs are susceptible to fatigue and pain, a long time prone to chronic pain, leg pain, back pain and other symptoms. If the heel is too thin and the toe is too narrow, it can easily cause ankle sprains and toe valgus. It is recommended that the boot should not exceed 6 cm in size when purchasing boots, preferably 4 cm or less. Heels should not be too small or too fine. The boot tip should be slightly loose to give more space to the toes and feet.
