Usage: When exercising, stand upright or squat, hold the turntable handle with both hands and slowly rotate in the same or opposite direction.
Function: Exercise the mobility of human shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and other joints.
Precautions:
One is an extended class. There are ribbed wooden frames, horizontal bars and other leg press bar equipment. This kind of exercise does not encourage the elderly to try their best to leg press or to press their legs very high. Too high pressure does not mean health. It is recommended not to go over the shoulder at the highest.
The second is to twist the waist. The waist of the elderly is relatively stiff, and the movements should be as slow and soft as possible when twisting the waist. Twisting the waist too fast will lead to small muscle strain around the spine, which will have adverse effects on the intervertebral disc and may lead to disc herniation. So when doing waist twisting, you should do what you can, don't twist yourself to the extreme, especially don't use too much force.
The third is aerobic equipment. Dr. He Zhijian said that some elderly people regard the spacewalker as a "power-splitting device" and increase the stride to 160 degrees to 180 degrees, which is quite dangerous. Because it may lead to the relaxation of the ligament of the hip joint, it is easy to cause dislocation. Dr. He suggested that the elderly should do more low-intensity repeated aerobic exercise.
The fourth is strength equipment. (1) horizontal bar. The purpose of the horizontal bar for the elderly is mainly to stimulate muscles. 60-year-olds don't need to work too fast and too hard, and they don't need to work 100%. People with moderate disc herniation can bend their arms moderately on the horizontal bar, land their feet and hang more than half of their weight, which is equivalent to suspension traction. (2) kick in place. Old people in patella softening are not suitable.
