Patient's question:
,Ankle distance of 8 cm Previous treatment and outcomes: Last week, I didn't go to make her a splint (the device extends from the thigh to the heel, and the two feet are connected by a steel rod). She wears it at night. The doctor said to let her get used to it gradually (it will take about a week to get used to...Doctor's answer:
The best way is to stand at attention. The main reason for developing "" (crossed feet) is: standing up too early to learn to walk in childhood, weak leg strength, difficulty maintaining balance, naturally causing the feet to turn outward to expand the sole area and enhance stability to prevent falling, gradually forming a habit. Additionally, some people develop crossed feet due to walking with incorrect posture, which gradually becomes a habit and leads to foot (deformity).Guidance:
(1) Gently massage the child's lower limbs daily, perform forward leg extension exercises (be gentle), and align the feet.
(2) Train the child to walk with both feet forward, increasing the inward turning of the feet. You can also wear shoes on the opposite feet—wear the left foot in the right shoe and the right foot in the left shoe—gradually reducing the habit.
Generally, during this stage, pathological O-shaped legs are rare. As long as the child receives sufficient milk daily to provide protein and calcium, and their gait is gradually corrected, it should gradually improve.
