Many elderly people feel that wearing flat shoes is comfortable and light, but do you know? Unconsciously, it will harm the health of the elderly.
From a physiological point of view, from the elderly to the elderly, degenerative aging changes occur in the muscles and ligaments of the plantar arch, loss of elasticity of the arch of the arch, loss of weight-bearing capacity, and obese people also tend to form a flat foot (this is also the time for the elderly to stand or walk too long It is easy to feel the main cause of pain in many parts of the foot, knees, knees, hips, and waist.) If you often wear flat shoes, it may promote the loss of elasticity of the arch, and it is not conducive to weight-bearing and walking in the elderly.
From a physical point of view, non-heeled shoes have the greatest directional rotation, which is the worst stability, and it is easy for the elderly to control the stability of the body in a hurry, resulting in falling or causing various injuries to the muscles and ligaments in the foot.
From the point of view of anti-shock, wearing flat shoes will also reduce the anti-seismic capacity of the elderly in the foot. In addition, the function of elastic cushions such as spinal intervertebral discs will decrease. The elderly will stand up or walk for too long, and it will easily cause dizziness. Headache and other discomfort.
Special Note: The elderly should wear shoes with a certain height followed by 1.5 to 2 cm, which is not only conducive to the maintenance of the formation of arch and anti-shock ability, but also can limit the excessive directional rotation, enhance the stability of activities .
