Short legs and long legs: if left unchecked, it will endanger the cardiovascular system! 1 stroke to improve flexion and extension movement

Editorial department/comprehensive long and short legs are not only straight in appearance, but also may have heart disease! The imbalance between long and short legs, O-shaped legs and large and small feet is closely related to muscle imbalance or joint deformation. This imbalance not only affects the appearance, but also leads to the posture of the upper body, scoliosis and organ compression, and cardiovascular diseases will follow. Luo Mingzhe, a master of the Institute of Rehabilitation Technology Aids at Yangming University, said that the proportion of cases with short legs and long legs is very high, which is caused by the following three reasons: joint deformation: when the joint is inflamed or has other diseases, it will affect the original structure of the joint, resulting in imbalance between the left and right legs. Pelvic tilt: car accident, impact, poor posture, muscle weakness, etc. , may produce pelvic tilt, so that the legs are not at the same height from the hip joint. Muscle atrophy: unilateral shortening of Achilles tendon leads to imbalance, muscle weakness or atrophy due to lack of use, disease and infection. , making the development of leg muscles asymmetric. If the lower body leans because of the short legs, it will affect the balance of the upper body. When it turns into scoliosis, it will oppress organs. If you press the chest cavity, it may cause heart and blood pressure diseases, and pressing the abdominal cavity may cause gastrointestinal problems. First, if the leg bones are really different in length and the gap is within 1.5cm, you can adjust them with insoles. If the gap is large, considering the limited space in the shoe, the heel pad must be used instead. If it is caused by various diseases and muscle atrophy, drug treatment should be given priority, and then insoles and other corrective methods should be selected according to the doctor's advice. Second, the flexion and extension exercise is straight, and the hands overlap on the back in a relaxed posture. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, and adjust your stance according to the length of your legs: if your left leg is long, your left leg will stand behind, if your right leg is long, your right leg will stand behind. Try to squat down to the angle that your thighs can bear, pause for two seconds and then stand up. Get down slowly. Pay attention to the uniform distribution of body weight on your legs. About 10 times per minute, and every 15 times is a group. The amount of exercise can be moderately increased, on the principle of not causing muscle pain.
