Patient's question:
After learning to walk, I haven't received any treatment until now.Doctor's answer:
Correction Methods. If a child has developed a "pigeon-toed" gait, correction exercises should be started early. For younger children, during training, parents can stand behind the child, place both hands under the child's armpits, and guide the child to walk along a wider straight line. While walking, it is important to ensure that the child's knees always face forward. When lifting the feet off the ground, focus on the toes, and when bending the knees forward, allow the knees to lightly touch each other. Practice twice a day, and with persistent effort, results will be achieved. For older children, they can practice walking 1-2 times a day along a tape or straight line on the floor in front of a mirror. During practice, children should focus on the movements of the foot dorsum and toes. With repeated practice, the "pigeon-toed" gait can be corrected over time.
