紧身牛仔裤可致神经损伤

Attention wearers of skinny jeans: don't squat — at least not for long.

穿紧身牛仔裤的人们注意了!没事别蹲着——至少别蹲太久。

Doctors in Australia report that a 35-year-old woman was hospitalized for four days after experiencing muscle damage, swelling, and nerve blockages in her legs after squatting for several hours while wearing tight-fitting denims.

澳大利亚有医生指出，最近一名35岁女性住院四天，原因是她在身着紧身牛仔裤时蹲了几小时，导致肌肉损伤、肿胀，以及腿部神经阻断。

"We were surprised that this patient had such severe damage to her nerves and muscles," said Dr. Thomas Kimber of the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia, in an email.

“我们非常惊讶，这位病人遭受了如此严重的神经和肌肉损伤，澳大利亚皇家阿德雷德医院的医生托马斯·金伯在邮件中写道。

The patient, who was not identified, spent most of the previous day helping someone move, squatting for long periods while emptying cupboards. Clad in skinny jeans, the woman said they felt increasingly tight and her feet were numb as she walked home, making her trip and fall. Unable to get up, she spent several hours stranded outside before getting to the hospital. Kimber and colleagues published a report about the case online Monday in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.
