Knee pain can make running, walking and climbing stairs a big challenge. Although medicines can help, scientists have been looking for natural methods to reduce pain and pressure in the knee joint. A recent study from his university found that adjusting walking posture may help reduce knee inflammation. According to reports from Tom 's Guide, the research team found that based on personal step analysis, the pain reduction in patients with degenerative knee inflammation can be comparable to drug treatment by slightly adjusting the angle of walking, so that the toes are slightly facing outward or inward. Even better, the subjects were able to maintain new walking postures for more than a year, which helped reduce knee pressure and reduce soft bone wear.
Brennen Stemper, chief investigator, said that the study results show that micro-tuning of the vertebrae can produce significant progress in patients with degenerative knee joint inflammation. This does not mean walking in different ways every day, but reducing the knee joint pressure at the key moment. Steps are walking postures, which involve how the foot is touching the ground and how the body moves at each step. Some people's ankles will be overturned, some people will be overturned, and others will fall into the middle area. Adjusting steps is to train the body to touch the ground in a way that reduces the pressure of the fragile area.
But this does not mean that you should start walking toe outward. Research is to make personal adjustments based on the pace of each subject, so it is not recommended to adjust your walking method yourself. The safest approach is to ask a specialist or physical therapist to conduct professional step analysis, evaluate the action and provide adjustment suggestions.
According to the instructions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), injuries or overuse, obesity, family history and high aging are all risk factors for increasing the risk of joint inflammation. It is recommended to maintain physical activity, control weight, protect the joint, and seek professional physical treatment or drug control symptoms.
