The trend of "Four Uncles" playing with skewers has spread to children! Will primary school students get tenosynovitis from playing with skewers?

When it comes to playing with bracelets, the first thing that comes to my mind is the image of the "Fourth Master" playing with bracelets in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Like me, many friends may think that playing with bracelets is a leisure hobby that middle-aged and elderly people are keen on. But recently, this trend of playing with bracelets has swept into the group of primary school students. Many parents reported that their children like to play with bracelets while doing homework. So, does it have any effect on primary school students if they often play with bracelets? Will they get tendonitis?

Some parents are worried that their children’s love for the game will have any adverse effects on them. Zhou Hong, secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Psychology at Nanjing Normal University, said that when facing children’s new game, parents should analyze the psychology of their children.

Maybe it is a decompression game, just like throwing sandbags and playing cat's tangle when we were kids, playing it is a way to relax when we are stressed or bored; maybe it is a form of interpersonal communication, just like children playing games, hoping to gain a voice and build influence. Some students can also find some creative ways to play, as long as it does not affect their life and study, it is understandable, and parents do not need to be on high alert.

Chen Yan, director of the Rehabilitation Department of Beijing Gulou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that playing with strings can indeed stabilize emotions and relieve stress. Playing with strings can distract children from staring at electronic screens, strengthen social interaction among peers, and is also a good way to relax.

There are some potential health problems associated with long-term string playing, especially those related to hand health. Since string playing requires repeated hand movements, excessive string playing may lead to overuse of the wrists and fingers, which can cause hand diseases such as tenosynovitis.

Tenosynovitis is a common hand condition that is caused by repeated, repetitive movements or postures of the hands. It is an inflammation of the tendon sheaths of the wrist or fingers, which are tubular structures that cover the tendons of the wrist or fingers for protection and support.

The main symptoms of tenosynovitis include pain, stiffness and swelling in the wrist or fingers, and possibly numbness or tingling in the fingers. Severe tenosynovitis may make it difficult to bend or straighten the fingers, affecting daily life and work.

03How to prevent tenosynovitis by eating skewers frequently?

Control the time and frequency of playing with the strings. Parents and teachers can control the time and frequency of primary school students playing with the strings, prevent children from playing for a long time and too frequently, and leave sufficient rest time for the hand muscles and ligaments.

Pay attention to the posture of rolling the string. Teach primary school students the correct posture of rolling the string, avoid excessive bending or twisting of the wrist, and reduce the stress on the muscles and ligaments of the hand.

Choose appropriate beads. Avoid using plates that are too heavy or too light to reduce the burden on your hands. Also pay attention to the material of the beads to avoid toxic and harmful substances that may harm your child's health.

Diversify exercise methods. Guide children to do a variety of exercises, such as outdoor running, cycling, swimming, etc., to reduce the impact of single mechanical interaction on the hands and avoid the occurrence of diseases such as joint hypertrophy and hyperplasia.
