Hello everyone! I love dancing, and I am willing to answer the question of whether I can dance square dance because of arthritis. Excessive square dancing can easily lead to arthritis. It's a bit of a coincidence I have suffered from severe osteoarthritis for many years, but I still insist on dancing square dance rain or shine. After several years of aerobic exercise in square dance, my arthritis has improved a lot. I will share my views on this issue with you based on my personal experience.
(1) Let's first understand what arthritis is. There are many medical classifications of arthritis, so I won't list them here. As the saying goes, "people get old when they get old." Among middle-aged and elderly people, the most common arthritis disease is osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic inflammation or degenerative disease of joints, mainly cartilage injury, accompanied by secondary hyperosteogeny.
Most of them are over 50 years old, and women are more common. The main clinical symptoms are: morning exercise joint stiffness, sedentary stiffness, difficulty in squatting, difficulty in walking when the joints are painful upstairs and downstairs, and artificial joint replacement surgery is needed when it is aggravated. The main symptoms of these arthritis, I suffer from almost all joint diseases.
(2) After suffering from osteoarthritis, adhering to regular and proper square dance can enhance the flexibility and muscle vitality of joint muscles, improve local blood circulation, strengthen the supporting role of muscles, tendons and ligaments, and do more good than harm in stretching bones and protecting joints, reducing bone loss and preventing osteoporosis, nourishing and stabilizing joints.
My arthritis is still a little serious. I had to walk down the stairs on one leg. My knee joint became acute synovitis because of swelling and pain. Two hospitalizations. But I have always insisted on proper square dance exercise, and now I can dance normally like a person without joint diseases, and there are few symptoms of joint pain, which is the benefit of proper square dance exercise for arthritis patients.
(3) Obesity and weight gain are one of the important causes of osteoarthritis. Obesity increases the load and friction of patients' joints. Dancing square dance with the rhythm of music can eliminate obesity and maintain a normal and reasonable weight, which is an important means to avoid the occurrence and development of arthritis.
During the COVID-19 epidemic, staying at home, often willing to lie down and watch the computer and brush the mobile phone for a long time, will reduce the bone load, lead to bone loss, and easily lead to osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Therefore, it is very beneficial to actively change the bad habit of staying at home and not exercising, and insist on dancing at home every day to lose weight.
(4) The last question is very important. I think excessive square dancing is easy to cause joints. Because the knee of the knee joint is also called patella in medicine, it has no nerves and blood vessels, and the cartilage in the knee is often called meniscus, which needs the nourishment and lubrication of joint fluid. However, degenerative senile osteoarthritis has less joint fluid and poor lubrication function. If the square dance is excessive, the dancing time is too long and the dancing intensity is too high, it will cause excessive extrusion and friction to the articular cartilage, which will easily cause damage to the articular surface and lead to the occurrence and aggravation of arthritis diseases.
The length of the square dance is suggested to be around 1 hour, subject to the fact that it does not cause joint pain when dancing in the square dance. If you have pain, you should go to the hospital in time. In addition, in the square dance, we should do less excessive and difficult dance movements to avoid accumulated joint strain.
In a word, square dance is a very popular fitness exercise at present. You can dance square dance if you have arthritis, but excessive square dance is not conducive to the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of arthritis. The above is shared with you, and my answer to this question hopes to inspire and help you, so that we can learn and improve together.
If you have arthritis, it is ok to choose a dance with less exercise. Dancing square dance won't get arthritis!
If you have arthritis, you can't dance square dance when it is acute and severe. You can't dance square dance until you are well. If it's chronic arthritis and you can't jump, you have to change to other slow sports, such as Tai Chi sword Tai Ji Chuan. The principle of arthritis is that the local blood circulation is not good, and joint fluid cannot be transported to the joints. At this time, the lack of joint fluid intensifies the exercise. It's cartilage grinding cartilage. When the cartilage is worn away, the artificial joint has to be replaced, and it is best to rest when it hurts.
Re-participate according to your physical condition, exercise properly, and don't overdo it, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
It should be possible. First, let's see which part has arthritis, shoulder joint, elbow joint, hip joint, knee joint or ankle joint. Every part of the situation is different.
If it is shoulder joint or elbow joint, you can add more shoulder and neck exercises. I created a set of shoulder and neck aerobics, which solved the shoulder and neck problems of myself and my teammates. None of us took medicine or went to the hospital. It depends on exercise to improve. In other words, it is very necessary to exercise in the area where arthritis occurs. Middle-aged and elderly people must exercise scientifically and reasonably, according to their own actual situation, rather than following the trend. Secondly, there are many kinds of dance events in square dance. Dancers with joint problems must choose their own dance. Some kinds of dancing are necessary, and not everyone can dance, such as shuffling. Good-looking, lose weight, very stylish. However, to a certain extent, the knees will be required to be higher. If you don't advise people with bad knees to jump a lot, you really like it. You have to change some movements, otherwise something will definitely go wrong.
Therefore, everyone should choose a suitable project in the square dance and stick to it correctly in order to achieve the effect of getting rid of illness and fitness.
Therefore, jumping out of physical problems and dancing in the square dance of rehabilitation and fitness may cause the following problems:
1. Wrong square dance project was chosen. There are many kinds of square dances, which have always been regarded as the largest dance in the world, such as folk dance, modern dance, yangko, aerobics, cha-cha, samba and waltz? So choosing the wrong event will hurt you, because your body is not suitable for those sports. Although some dances are beautiful and attractive, they may not be suitable for you, so you can't just choose the "expensive" ones in the square dance, but the "right" ones are the best. 2. There is no teacher's guidance, or the guidance is wrong. This kind of exercise is also easy to get hurt. Therefore, even if it is a square dance, it will be better to dance with a more formal or well-trained teacher, which will not only reduce the occurrence of injuries, but also prevent injuries.
3. The amount of exercise is too large, and the amount of exercise is not well controlled. Some dancers practice a lot every day in order to lose weight or see some effects, which is not acceptable. You should follow the teacher, have a scientific plan and exercise step by step. The above is my answer to this question. I hope it will help everyone. If you need to communicate with me, we can discuss it together.
Moderation is enough, and excess is indeed a problem.
If you have arthritis, you'd better not go to square dance. It hurts itself, and jumping will hurt more. Just like walking, walking slowly can still exercise. Square dance should also be properly exercised.
If I can dance, I have arthritis. I have arthritis because I like dancing. It is ok to choose a dance with less exercise. I have been dancing.
Slightly ok
