Old People Often Wear Flat Shoes Or Lose Their Arch Elasticity.

Many elderly people feel comfortable and light in flat shoes, but they do harm to the health of the elderly unconsciously.

From a physiological point of view, the aging of the human body, the plantar muscles and ligaments will undergo degenerative aging changes, foot arch elasticity loss, weight bearing ability greatly reduced, obesity is also easy to form flat feet.

This is also the main reason for the elderly to stand or walk too long, easily feel pain in foot, ankle, knee, hip, waist and other parts.

If you wear plain shoes often, you may promote the loss of elasticity of the arch, and are more harmful to the elderly's weight bearing and walking.

From the physical point of view, the shoe with no heel has the most directional rotation, that is, the stability is the worst. It makes it easy for the elderly to be unable to control the stability of the body in a hurry, so that they may fall or cause various injuries to the muscles and ligaments of the foot.

Anti shock point of view, wearing flat shoes will also reduce the antiseismic ability of the elderly plantar, plus the function of elastic pad such as intervertebral disc, too long, standing or walking too long, it is also easy to cause dizziness, headache and other discomfort.

Therefore, the elderly should wear a heel with a certain height of shoes, 1.5 to 2 centimeters appropriate.

This will not only help maintain the arch formation and anti concussion ability, but also restrict excessive directional rotation and enhance the stability of activities.
