Patient's question:
When my baby was one year old and had a health check-up, the doctor said that the right foot was slightly outwardly rotated and needed rehabilitation treatment. Now, the baby still needs support to walk and will never walk independently. I want to ask if it is necessary to undergo rehabilitation treatment to correct it?Doctor's answer:
Baby foot inversion, also known as external foot dorsiflexion, refers to the outward deviation of the heel axis in children and is one of the common foot deformities. Wearing corrective shoes primarily serves a preventive purpose, ensuring that the baby's legs can maintain normal development and fully recover. During the day, massage and acupuncture are applied to the inner muscles of both lower limbs, and the foot is inwardly rotated and inverted. This is the advice for the question "When my baby was one year old for a health check-up," hoping it helps you. Wishing you good health!
