Important senses to control the body in the process of children's growth Human beings have the general "five senses" of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, but there are also three other important senses that unconsciously control the balance of the body: touch, proprioception, and vestibular sense. As children grow, these three senses integrate to acquire new functions. For the past five years, I have been researching children's inner thigh gait, and I have noticed the changes in children today. They often fall, can't catch the ball, can't throw well, walk, run, and have a hunched posture or inner thigh.　I believe that this means that the natural senses are not being cultivated. What we have found through the intervention of these unnourished sensations is that we have not been able to integrate these senses. When people walk, they walk naturally, but in addition to the five senses, proprioception and presupposition work together, making it possible to walk straight without falling. One of the most common cases of children with inner thigh walking is that they can walk straight when walking in the hospital, but many of them walk inside when they walk outside without being conscious of it. We believe that it is necessary to avoid the underdevelopment of these senses that lead to the shape of skeletal joints and become adult bones as they are. So, this time, I will summarize the other three important senses of the five senses. I feel that if we can integrate these, it will lead to preventing deterioration of posture and gait. ■ Tactile sensation Tactile sensation is the sensation that is felt through the skin. It is the sensation of touch, pain, temperature, etc. Tactile sensation is the sensation of touching or being touched, which is felt through the skin. If there is a pebble in your shoe, you will feel pain and discomfort, and if someone pinches your skin, you will feel tingling. I check the temperature of water or hot water when I touch it, and the hardness of the fruit by touching it to see if it is ripe or not. ■ Proprioception is the feeling of feeling the position, movement, and force of one's body. Position, force, movement, etc. People adjust their strength by their activities, don't they? When carrying heavy or hard objects, I hold them with a lot of force in my hands. On the other hand, when holding tofu or eggs, hold them gently and gently. It prevents a cup full of juice from overflowing when carrying it in your hand, and stabilizes your body when you try to lift something with your hand. Also, when walking on the cobblestones, the soles of the feet naturally feel the unevenness of the ground so as not to fall. This is because proprioception is also at work. ■ Vestibular sense Vestibular awareness is the feeling of feeling the tilt, speed, rotation, and gravity of your body. The receptors are the otolith apparatus and the semicircular canal, which are located at the back of the ear. Vestibular awareness is greatly related to arousal (the degree of awakening of the brain). For example, have you ever tried to wake up by shaking your head when you feel sleepy? This is because the brain wakes up crisply by incorporating vestibular awareness when you are bored. Gravity exists on Earth. Feeling this gravity is the function of vestibular sense. When walking on a thin line, it is mainly the function of vestibular awareness to balance and adjust the tilt of your body. *Conclusion Vestibular perception, along with proprioception, is one of the senses necessary to grasp the functions of one's body. By being able to grasp the functions of the body, can you jump over this pond? Can you jump over this vaulting box? You can grasp the following and take on the challenge of the environment appropriately. At KIZU Chiropractic, we offer a variety of interventions aimed at correcting the growth curve of these children to their natural form. As a result, many children have improved their posture and inner thigh walking, and have improved symptoms such as physical discomfort, pain, and discomfort. If you are concerned about your child's posture or gait, we would appreciate it if you could consult with us as soon as possible. Children's bones have a lot of cartilage tissue called growth plates until they are about 10~12 years old. We believe that appropriate interventions should be made during the period of growth.
