如何保護穿著高跟鞋帶來的傷害

 

高跟鞋被塑造成女性化及美麗的象徵，穿上她，你將感有自信及優雅，然而它也無形中改變腳，腿，背部的施力，長期而言，會對姿勢及健康產生影響。

 

長期穿高跟鞋，會導致足部的傷害，當你的跟越高，你的足部將會滑得更裡面，所受到的壓力也越大，間接摩擦到你的腳跟，姆指後方區域以及大姆趾。

 

 

摩擦對皮膚有所傷害，並且產生灼熱感，或是水泡的生成，長期下來會導致硬皮和雞眼的生成，這種壓力也能造成腳部深層軟組織的問題，如神經瘤（加厚神經）。

 

隨著鞋跟高度的增加，體重移向腳的內側邊界和下大腳趾。隨著時間的推移，在大腳趾這個增加的壓力可能會導致它被朝向第二腳趾用力。

 

 

長期對大腳趾關節造成問題的姆趾囊腫（拇趾外翻）式，與長期穿著高跟鞋有關，此外常穿高跟鞋的女性通常有一個較大的前腳掌區域和較長的大腳趾。

 

幾點建議，能減少穿著高跟鞋帶來的傷害：

 

選擇具有適度鞋跟高度的鞋子，不小於五厘米高，並緊固在腳背。

 

穿高跟鞋的時間縮短，並準備一雙平底鞋，如果一天下來有長程行走，能交替穿。

選擇一個具有寬厚底的鞋跟，或坡跟鞋，以減少你的腳前下的負載。

避免穿著高跟鞋時奔跑，因為不論跑快跑慢，都會造成你足部的沉重壓力負擔。

塞入鞋墊，去減緩腳部前端和跟的壓力。

每天做小腿肌的伸展運動，保持腳踝的靈活性。

 

 

 

How to prevent foot problems caused by high heels

Posted on February 20, 2014 by bunion news

High-heeled shoes are thought to characterise femininity and beauty, making the wearer feel self-assured and elegant. But they also alter alignment of the feet, legs, and back, and can have long-term effects on posture and health. Feet suffer considerably inside high-heeled shoes. The higher the heel, the more the foot slides inside the shoe and the greater the pressure and friction under the heel, the ball of the foot, and the big toe.

Friction is damaging to the skin causing a burning sensation and blisters and, over time, it leads to the development of hard skin and corns. This stress can also cause deeper soft tissue problems in the foot, such as a neuroma (thickened nerve). As heel height increases, body weight shifts towards the inside border of the foot and under the big toe. Over time, this increased pressure on the big toe may cause it to be forced towards the second toe.

Damage to the big toe joint in the form of bunions (hallux valgus) has been associated with prolonged wearing of high-heeled shoes. And women who frequently wear high heels commonly have a larger forefoot area and a longer big toe. Some suggestions to reduce the harmful effects of high heels:

• choose a shoe with moderate heel height, no higher than five centimetres, and a fastening over the instep;


• wear high heels for short periods of time, and take a pair of flat shoes or runners to change into if you have to walk a long distance during the day;


• choose a shoe with a wide heel base, or a wedge heel, to reduce the load under the front of your foot;


• avoid running in high-heeled shoes as pressure under the foot increases considerably when running, even at low speed;


• use a shoe insert to reduce pressure on the forefoot and heel;


• do calf muscle stretching exercises every day to maintain ankle flexibility.
