Sedentary elderly persons and elderly patients with dementia, depression, stroke, hip fracture, and restricted mobility are at high risk for developing entrapment neuropathies. Although several causes of peroneal nerve entrapment have been described, the most common in the elderly are leg-crossing and prolonged squatting or kneeling.
久坐不动的老年人以及患有痴呆、抑郁、中风、髋部骨折和行动不便的老年患者发生卡压性神经病的风险很高。尽管已经描述了几种腓总神经卡压的原因,但在老年人中最常见的是交叉双腿以及长时间蹲坐或跪姿。
