"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 we walk has very important functions such as "coordinated movement" and "postural control". ?"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 entire feet are a little mixed with these two tasks.? ? ・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.…
Parenting habits to prevent congenital dislocation of the hip joint
The hip joint has a shape in which the hemispherical part (femoral head) on the femur side fits into the dent (recircular group) on the pelvis side. This innately unfit condition was commonly referred to as congenital hip dislocation, but in many cases it is rarely completely dislocated at the moment the baby is born, and the joints that are unstable at birth often gradually shift to dislocation, and recently the word "congenital" is not used, especially in Europe and the United States, and developmental Dysplasia of the It is called Hip (developmental hip dysplasia). This may cause the gradual dislocation. It may induce dislocation of the hip joint by accumulating a little childcare habit on the parent side, so be aware of the following three points! ■ 3 points 1 points that you want to be careful about how to raise diapers Let's make the diaper a crotch diaper with both legs bent into M-shaped and you can move your legs freely. Because it comes to tighten small things that do not fit the size, the legs will be difficult to move freely. Do not fix with both legs stretched out like "Okurumi". Also, do not pull up your baby's legs with your mother's one hand when changing diapers, put your mom's palms under the baby's buttocks and lift them. 2. Cuddle Let's do a "koala cuddle" for cuddles. When the baby is held from the front, it becomes an M-shaped open leg with both knees and hip joint bent. Make it customary to always put your mother's hand between the baby's legs, just as the koala is holding on to the tree. In the cuddle string, "cuddle string for frontal cuddle" becomes an M-shaped open leg, so there is no problem with use. If you use the "baby sling" for a side-hugging, stop it because you can not take the posture of the open leg and both legs are stretched. 3, Orientation Habit If there is a turning habit when sleeping, the opposite leg becomes a standing knee, and it may dislocate in an inner fallen posture. Lift the head and body on the direction side with a towel or mat, and devise so that the opposite leg falls outward and opens. *You can reduce the negative factors in your child's growth process just by changing the habit of childcare. Even if it is subluxation, for example, even if it is subluxation, the influence may become a factor of knee and hip joint disease in adulthood. Let's acquire important childcare habits in the growth process! *The X-ray image is a normal hip AP image of an 8-year-old child (Akamaru is a growth board) Source: ■Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Tokyo Hospital ■2016 Japan Medical Research and Development Agency Research Funded Comprehensive Research Project for Overcoming Child-Rearing Diseases Research on effective implementation of screening etc. based on disease epidemiology of infants Writers: Naoaki Kizu Language This page has been automatically translated.
