Everyone has their own habitual walking gait, but you know, there may be some health secrets hidden in it. The website "Care" in the United States publishes a study by experts from the American Society of Plastic Surgery, summarizing eight walking gait patterns that can provide you with some health warning signals.
Walking gait 1: clapping the foot on the ground first
Early warning: disc herniation or stroke
The former chairman of the American Association of Pediatrics believes that when a healthy person steps, the first step is to contact the ground with the heel of their foot. If someone walks with the sole of their foot hitting the ground first, it is mostly due to their weak muscle control power, which means that it may be a stroke attack or intervertebral disc herniation, which compresses the nerves and causes muscle and nerve function damage.
Walking gait 2: small stride
Warning: Knee bone degradation
The knee should remain straight as soon as the heel touches the ground. If this is not the case, it may mean that the movement ability of the knee bones or the extension ability of the hips are limited, and this functional degradation can be resolved through massage and massage.
Walking gait 3: inner splay
Early warning: rheumatoid arthritis
This type of inflammation can cause a gait pattern known as a splay, which is present in 85% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It is medically known as genu valgus or valgus foot, characterized by the inability of the lower leg to straighten and bend laterally. This gait is very unusual, looking clumsy, with knees together and ankles everted.
Walking gait 4: arm does not shake when walking
Warning: There is a problem under the back
Physiologists believe that when walking with the left leg forward, the spine rotates to the right, and the right arm swings accordingly. If someone does not swing their arms much while walking, it may mean that their back mobility is limited, which can easily cause back pain and injury.
