Osteoporoosiga eakatel inimestel tavaliselt kasutatavate kõndimisabivahendite hulka kuuluvad jalutuskepid, kargud, jalutuskärud jne. Nende ülesanne on toetada kehakaalu, säilitada tasakaalu ja aidata kõndimisel. Eakad peaksid valima endale sobiva jalutuskäru ja valdama õigesti kasutusviisi.
Kepp:
There are many types of canes used by the elderly, including single, three, and four pivots. Older people with osteoporosis who have limited mobility should choose a cane whose length, weight, and function are suitable for them as soon as possible. The three-point and four-point canes are made of aluminum alloy, which is light, stable, and safe, and the appearance is relatively clean, which the elderly prefer. If you use a wooden cane, the rod should be hard and the head should be reinforced with a metal hoop to avoid slipping; the rod handle should be slightly wider to make the elderly feel comfortable in shaking hands; the rod end should be covered with a rubber cap to prevent slippage and cushion The impact of the cane on the ground, if the rubber cap is damaged, it should be replaced in time. The standard length of the cane can be selected by referring to the following methods: the elderly who need to use the cane stand upright, and the upper arm can hang freely and lean sideways. The vertical distance from the wrist of the little finger to the ground is the length of the cane suitable for the patient. Single pivot cane. It is also called "D" shaped cane. The grip is basically "D" shaped. It is lighter and easier to carry. A rubber cap is installed on the end of the cane. This type of walking stick is suitable for people who can balance walking, and can enhance the stability of walking. It supports the cane at four points. There are four branches on the ground contact end of the cane. It can stand upright like a desk without human support, so its stability is better than other types of canes. This kind of walking stick is suitable for people who are staggering, walking and shaking, and unstable. Although this cane is relatively stable. But it must also be ensured that each of the four branches is in firm contact with the ground, so it is only suitable for use on flat roads, not uneven or sandy roads.
kark:
Kargud on teine tavaliselt kasutatav kõndimisabi. Erinevalt karkudest on tugipunkt käel ja tugipunkt kaenlas. Kui vanurid kasutavad karke, peaksid nad reguleerima sobiva kõrguse. Kui kargud on liiga pikad, võivad eakatel kaenlaalused kokku suruda, õlavarrepõimiku närvid saavad kergesti vigastada: kargud on liiga lühikesed ning eakas peab nende kasutamisel kummarduma, mis toob kaasa ebaõige jõu ja ebastabiilse kõnnaku. Sobiv karkude pikkus peaks olema sirge kaugus maapinnast kaenlaalusteni, kui eakad seisavad püsti veidi madalamal kui 3–5 cm. Piirkonda, kus kargu ülemine ots puutub kokku kaenlaga, tuleks tugevdada käsna, kummipadja või rätikuga ning riideteip mähkida, et vähendada hõõrdumist kargu ülemise otsa kõva osa ja kargu vahel. kaenlaalune. Kargu pea peaks olema kaetud kummist varrukaga, et vanur kõndides ei libiseks. Kõndimisel tuleks käepidemest tugevalt kinni hoida, mitte kaenlaalust vajutada ja samal ajal stabiilsuse säilitamiseks kasutada õlavart kepi külje külge kinnitamiseks.
Walker:
Kõndimisseadme stabiilsus on parem kui jalutuskeppidel ja karkudel. See on valikuline kõndimisabi kehva füüsilise jõuga eakatele, kuid miinuseks on see, et see on mahukas ja pole kaasaskantav.
