Don't ignore the back pain after sitting in a wheelchair for a long time!

Relax in a few simple steps!

*************************************************************************

It is often said that sedentary is not good for your health, so how long does it take to sit for sedentary?The guidelines of the Public Health Agency of Canada indicate that sedentary means sitting still for more than 8-12 hours a day.

Wheelchair users need a wheelchair to assist in walking. They need to sit in a wheelchair for a long time due to work or life. Eight hours of sedentary is common. Over time, it will affect the body and even cause serious damage.

The hazards of sedentary wheelchairs

1. Muscle system

Sedentary, local blood flow to the muscles decreases, resulting in relative hypoxia and ischemia of the muscles, which affects the contraction function of skeletal muscles; it also affects changes in muscle fibers, muscle weight decreases, mass decreases, and muscle strength and endurance have obvious changes.

2. Bone and joint system

Sedentary will affect bone metabolism and cause osteoporosis; long-term immobility will cause stiffness, joint contracture, and reduced joint ligament strength, which can easily cause fracture; joints that lack activity are prone to degeneration.

3. Cardiovascular system

Sedentary will increase the basic heart rate and shorten the diastolic period, which can easily lead to excessive heart rate during activity; platelet agglutination arterial blood flow rate decreases, increasing the risk of venous thrombosis.

4. the respiratory system

Long-term immobility in a wheelchair, muscle strength decreases, respiratory muscle strength decreases, and lung capacity decreases significantly.

5. Skin system

Sedentary is often caused by skin muscle tissue damage, which leads to pressure sores. In addition, it can also lead to skin fungal infections and edema.

Ways to relieve sedentary

1. beat the waist

When you are sedentary, you can obviously feel uncomfortable at the waist. At this time, you can beat both sides of the waist after making a fist, but the intensity should be well grasped and not too much. Beating for about 5 minutes can relax the muscles on both sides of the waist. In the long run, it can better relieve the harm caused by sedentary to the waist.

2. turn your head

Sedentary will cause great discomfort to the neck and shoulders. At this time, you can move your neck appropriately, turn back and forth or nod your head up and down. The amplitude of turning your head should not be too large to avoid sprains.

3. Movable legs

Sedentary for a long time will cause the legs to become swollen, because the blood is not smooth during sedentary. At this time, you can take the initiative to relax your legs, straighten your legs and stretch, and rub your leg muscles.

4. Massage the shoulders

Sedentary is basically the movement of both hands. The shoulder posture at this time is almost the same. In the long run, it is easy to feel shoulder and neck pain. At this time, you can properly pinch your shoulders or massage your shoulders to relieve the pain. .
