Experts Advise: Children Should Not Wear Canvas Shoes.

On the market there is a kind of canvas shoes Guangdong called "white rice fish", which was once popular among many students. Recently, Wu Kunying, a consultant and part-time professor of prosthetic orthopaedic courses at Zhongshan Medical College and Mr. Dr.Kong, chief health consultant, reminded parents: it is best not to let children wear this "white rice fish" shoes. Experts also reminded parents to "pay more attention to the posture of children walking, to understand children's feet, and to prevent and deal with children's foot problems in time."

Most parents do not understand children's foot development.

According to Professor Wu, the design of "white rice fish" is too soft and shock-absorbing, especially when the heel cup and the bottom part are not stable enough, which is not conducive to the healthy development of children's feet. Especially for children with flat feet, the insoles of "white rice fish" can not prevent the symptoms of flat feet.

The survey shows that most parents do not understand the impact of foot problems on children's growth, resulting in children prone to foot problems such as flat feet and hind foot valgus, which affect the normal development of feet. According to Professor Liu Peng, deputy director of Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Zhongshan hospital and tutor of master's degree, Professor, from four years old, the arch of the child is slowly forming. In the process of child foot development, because of the immature bone, there is a flat foot phenomenon, which makes the foot of the child tired easily. Serious people will also cause plantar fasciitis, X leg, and even back pain, knee pain, spur and other sequela. Parents should face up to this problem and prevent and deal with children's foot problems as early as possible.

Good exercise and good posture are good for foot health.

Wu Kunying suggested that parents encourage their children to do more exercises, such as toes, claw toe movements and bounce exercises, to help them develop their arch development so as to prevent the sequela of flat feet. In addition, parents should help children develop proper posture and posture to reduce the chance of sequelae in children. During the age of 4~14, parents should regularly take their children to do a foot check every 4 months to understand their feet and prevent and deal with their foot problems in time.
