Patient's question:
Four and a half years old recently always wants to learn roller skating. She is taller than her peers. Does roller skating for young children affect development?Doctor's answer:
Children over five years old learn better. Children are different from adults. Children's ligaments are more flexible, relatively speaking, ligaments are stronger than bones and are less prone to ligament sprains, tears, and other injuries. Meanwhile, their entire skeletal system is in the stage of growth and development. Bones are more flexible, but correspondingly, bones also have many weak points. The weakest part is the epiphysis, where bone growth is occurring but lacks protective tissues. If a child falls or suffers a direct impact from gravity, the immediate injury is a fracture.
