"How to walk for children" and the story of cooperative movement
Have you ever felt like "My child is a little worried about how he walks..."??
In fact, the way you walk is "Cooperative movement" and "Posture controlIt is a very important work.
?"Stop" and "Forward" when walking
In order to make it easier for children to understand how to walk, we often talk about things like this.?
?When you walk, your feet are not just forward. In reality?
・"Stop" ...... Accept the weight of your body?
・"Advance" ...... Take the next step forward?I repeat these two tasks in each step.
Specifically?
(1) Land on your heels and "stop/catch" your body?
(2) Move forward with three fingers on the inside of the foot ~ thumb side.?It is a flow.?
Being able to properly separate these "stop" and "advance" is the foundation of cooperative movement.
?What is the situation with toe walking and fluttering walking?
Children who land a lot on their toes, and children who land with their whole feet "peta peta walking",
These two jobs are a little mixed.? ?
・When walking on tiptoes?Originally, it was done in two stages, "stop with your heels → advance with your fingers",?
From the beginning, I take it with my forefoot (toe side) and try to move forward.?
→ It is an image that "stop" and "forward" are combined into one action.? ?
・When walking around?Less weight transfer (rolling) to the heels, soles, and fingers,?
Since the entire foot lands at once, the roles of "stop", "support", and "forward" become ambiguous.
In both cases, it is easy to do your best with just your feet.?
Teamwork with the whole body (pelvis and core) = It is difficult to use coordinated movements well.
?What is posture control? What does it have to do with it?
Posture control is simply?
"The ability to move your limbs freely while balancing so as not to fall"?That's what it means.?
When walking, take one step every time?
・How far forward are you (position of the center of gravity)?
・How fast is it?
・Where are your feet attached??
While feeling the core, pelvis, and legs work together to control the posture.
Once you "stop" with your heels,?
・Accept the weight of the body?
・Stabilize your core and pelvis for the next step?This is a very important part of posture control.?
On top of that, "advance" with the three fingers on the thumb side to move forward smoothly.
?Points to look at at home
When looking at how your child walks, please refer to the following points.
・Are you able to land gently from your heels? (Isn't the sound too loud?)
・Can you pass through the entire sole of your foot and kick it out with three fingers on the thumb side at the end?
・Are you landing only on your toes?
・Are you sticking your entire foot at once?
・When walking, does the body shake too much from side to side?
?If you are worried, don't worry about it alone and consult with your mother.
Just because you walk on your toes or walk on your toes doesn't mean it's "bad" right away.?
They can be seen temporarily during growth, and they often change through experience and play.
Simply?・Easy to fall?・Get tired easily?・Posture is easy to break?・Nocturia ・Lack of concentration
When the situation overlaps, not only the feet, but also posture control, coordinated movements,?
In some cases, if you look at the whole picture, including primitive reflexes, you may find hints.

◆Improving knowledge and skills to improve foot pain and discomfort such as Seaver's disease, Osgood disease, valgus flat feet, inner thigh gait, and fluttering walking
◆You will also learn about the posture, gait, body use, motor development, and coordination of children in the gray zone who are not on the growth track, as well as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).
