Internet celebrity cross stick is composed of two original stainless steel pipes of about 20 cm. After rotating left and right, it opens into a cross shape and is placed behind the back to temporarily "support straight" the lower back. At the same time, both arms are pressed on the cross stick to achieve the effect of opening the shoulders.
As for whether it can meet the expectations of parents, some experts said that there are many reasons for the formation of hunchback. It is not recommended to simply use a cross stick to correct it. It requires scientific evaluation in the hospital and further treatment.
Dr. Tang Yang from the Rehabilitation Treatment Center of Sandun Campus of Zhejiang Hospital told reporters that hunchback is divided into functional hunchback caused by bad posture habits and structural hunchback caused by congenital bone problems. It should be noted that hunchback may occur in all age groups: kyphosis in children, sitting at desks in young people, and osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency in the elderly can all lead to hunchback.
"If there are problems in three or four places and the body is relatively poor, then simply using a cross stick will have limited effect. It needs to be scientifically evaluated in the hospital before further treatment." Dr. Tang Yang said, Internet celebrity cross Sticks can only be used as exercise equipment to establish a "standard consciousness", but they have no orthopedic effect. If it is a mild functional hunchback, you can use a cross stick to develop the habit of straightening your chest and shoulders, and guide your child to correct bad posture habits, so as to consciously maintain a correct posture.
In addition, Tang Yang also reminded that long-term use of the cross stick may aggravate hunchback. "The effects of force are mutual. When the cross stick forcibly pulls the body backward, the body will naturally form a forward force, which further activates the muscles on the front side. On the contrary, the forward force of the body will be greater, becoming A vicious cycle. "
Is there any daily way to prevent and improve hunchback?
Adolescent hunchback is more common in the fifth and sixth grade to junior high school. "When I encounter children who like to hold their breasts with their stomachs forward, many children have this posture. Adults should not worry too much ." Tang Yang pointed out , Teenagers' hunchback is mainly due to poor posture habits, like to hold their breasts and hunchback, and long-term use of incorrect postures to do homework at the desk or play with mobile phones with their heads down. In addition, part of it is also related to personal personality. " Girls start from the age of eleven or twelve to sixteen or seventeen years old, and boys wait one or two years later. This period is the most risky. If this period can be passed safely, then the chance of scoliosis will be relatively small. Many . "
Dr. Tang suggested that parents can simply judge whether their children have spinal problems by observing whether their children's ears are on the same level, whether there are high and low shoulders, and whether the heels are symmetrical. At the same time, parents also need to deliberately guide their children to establish concepts. "Many spinal problems start from the lower limbs. Some children may have pain in their waist or knee joints after running. At this time, they need to be checked in time. You can also encourage children to look in the mirror more and observe their posture. problem. "In addition, moderate exercise such as swimming and badminton can help children open their chests, thereby preventing and improving hunchback problems."
