"Grandparents" be careful of "moving bones and muscles"

BY Iris Wheatley 2020-08-01

   If "Golden List nomination, encounter with others in other countries" is a blessing in young people''s lives, then for the elderly, the joy of family is the best experience in the golden season of life. As the saying goes: the next generation is the closest, which means that the old man is more prone to his grandchildren and grandchildren than his children. "The feeling of licking a calf" is a natural instinct of a person, not to mention that most children are only children nowadays.

  As long as the physical conditions of grandparents allow , Shuttle children to and from school, cook and dress children, and take children out to play... It''s really all-inclusive. Dedicating the greatest spirit and the most selfless love to the grandchildren is the consistent practice of many old people, so it is reasonable to say that this "next-generation kiss" is indeed reasonable. However, some seniors have encountered discomfort while enjoying their "next-generation pro".

   Uncle Liu in his 60s went to the kindergarten to pick up his 4-year-old grandson. The grandson asked his grandfather to carry him home. Uncle Liu loved his grandson. . Uncle Liu stooped and squatted down, and Sun Zi happily climbed onto his back. On the way, the little grandson deliberately shook his joy on Uncle Liu''s back, and Uncle Liu smiled to stop it, but the little grandson became more and more troublesome. Suddenly, a violent movement made Uncle Liu''s body unstable, fell to the ground, and suddenly felt a pain in his right leg, daring not to move. Upon seeing the passerby, he quickly dialed 120, and then the hospital ambulance arrived and sent him to the hospital for treatment. After examination, the old man''s right calf fractured and required surgical treatment.

   The above-mentioned encounter with Uncle Liu may not be uncommon in life. Many young parents now give their children to the elderly to take care of. The children are playful and playful and like to be carried and hugged. The key is that many children, because they are young, do not understand that grandparents are old and their legs and feet are not flexible; The old man also usually follows the child in obedience, and the movements he often makes are beyond the scope of his own body, so he sprains and falls.

   I remember an elderly patient I was receiving. Because I played hide-and-seek with my grandchildren, I stepped on a small wooden stick under my feet, which resulted in a torn ligament in the ankle. When I arrived at the hospital, my ankle The swelling was very severe, and the skin was blue and purple. Fortunately, after X-ray examination, there was no fracture.

   From the medical point of view, when people get older, their muscles have shrunk, and their muscle strength has also decreased significantly; the nervous system has slower response, poor coordination, and longer response time to stimuli; bone near the joints Hyperplasia, decreased ligament elasticity and joint flexibility, plus osteoporosis, it is difficult for the body to maintain balance and be easily injured by sudden external force shocks. Therefore, the elderly must pay attention to their own safety when dealing with young children, and at the same time try to let the children walk by themselves, to avoid excessive back, hug, and carry to prevent accidents.
