Why Some Girls Stand This Way by antagonist: 3:37am On Jul 21, 2018 |
We have all come across them, people, usually females, standing in an awkward manner, almost as if their knees are about to bend or fold in. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7444208_dexozrfyntkhqrv54mmymkiq1jlygezz4abcwveg24_jpeg025555d6baf033ee85b742ff0b0960b5 Here are 10 things to note about this weird posture: 1. It is called Genu Recurvatum AKA Knee Hyperextension, AKA back knee www.nairaland.com/attachments/7444206_genurecurvatum1_png50a47b3c52e6bba65b9d515b8f795613 2. It is a deformity of the knees. Many think this is a normal posture, but it is not. It is an abnormality of the knee joints. 3. It is more common in females. It has been found to be more common in women. Men have the deformity as well, but it is much less common. [img]https://viewsfromthepodium.files./2017/01/journey-to-the-locked-knee-yoga-views-from-the-podium.jpg?w=1024&h=772&crop=1[/img] 4. It is also known as banana knees The similarity is obvious. 5. The deformity featured prominently in the 1996 blockbuster Alien movie The Arrival. The aliens moved around by hyperextending their knees and jumping into the sky. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7444257_spkdduod_jpeg28aa794288ba61b74bd5bfd8323e6a12 6. It can be congenital (From birth), or acquired. Some people are born with the deformity or diseases that cause the deformity such as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome www.nairaland.com/attachments/7444203_9_jpeg02519bfb266773f243fdef49420313d1 7. One of the most popular historical sufferers was Ella Harper In the late 19th Century she joined a circus because of the extreme nature of her deformity. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7444210_original26150144218809810_jpege0dd20cf3855bbae5e01fabb739dcf83 www.nairaland.com/attachments/7444211_enhanced3121914419276781_jpeg767c926dd020167a2c2c741b453ee706 8. In this posture the knees are easily damaged and prone to chronic pain. The pain may also extend to the hips. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7444203_9_jpeg02519bfb266773f243fdef49420313d1 9. It is a common sports deformity, and is considered a deformity hindering one from joining the US military. 10. It can be corrected. Surgery for extreme cases, postural correction and physiotherapy for less severe cases. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7444205_screenshot20180721022336chrome_jpegf47f1c1ab8ca5c71b76f06deeb85c22c https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genu_recurvatum https://medicalfoxx.com/genu-recurvatum.html Lalasticlala mynd44 [img]https://ag-spots-2017.o.auroraobjects.eu/2017/05/10/aston-martin-cygnet-c662210052017222913_4.jpg[/img] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZF3S3WUYAAliw-?format=jpg[/img]

Men as well as women suffer from this postural defect. I wonder why the title of the post is "Why some girls stand this way." |
