Recently, with the arrival of the first snow this winter, many citizens have gone out of their homes to enjoy the snow and enjoy the snow, while enjoying the beautiful scenery, they must be careful with their feet, and they need to be cautious at every step to avoid falls and fractures.
Slippery roads in snow can be like a natural "ice rink" outdoors, especially some trails, which are more prone to icing, so you should always be vigilant in such an environment. In particular, tiled pavement, snow-covered steps, and zebra crossings are places where slips and falls are more likely to occur. While being mentally vigilant, the correct walking posture can effectively avoid falling injuries.
First, when walking, try not to put your hands in your pockets, so that it is not easy to maintain the balance of your body. Second, when walking, try to spread your feet a little apart, and then lean forward slightly, in this case it will be better to maintain the center of gravity of the body. Third, when the road is slippery in snowy weather, try not to take a long step and walk quickly. In addition, if you accidentally fall, try to subconsciously make the body and the plane of the fall contact a little more to avoid the contact of a single part, resulting in a wrist fracture that cannot be distributed, or a sprain of the foot. Bai Yunchi, chief physician of the emergency surgery department of Peking University Binhai Hospital, said.
The doctor reminded that if you have difficulty moving after falling, it is best to call 120 to send you to the hospital as soon as possible, and try not to forcibly move on your own to avoid secondary injury. At the same time, the elderly with joint diseases and underlying diseases should try to avoid unnecessary travel, which can not only avoid old diseases**, but also minimize the possibility of falling injuries.
