How to prevent O-leg and X-leg in children?
During pregnancy, the fetal position, the amount of amniotic fluid, the number of fetuses, the size of the fetus itself, the phenomenon of pressure on the fetus, etc., may have an impact on the abnormal fetal leg shape.
The so-called O-leg refers to the symmetrical inversion of the knee on both sides. When a child grows to the age of one and a half to three years old, the development of the leg shape will gradually change to valgus (the appearance of X-shaped legs). When a baby is born, his leg shape may be bent for a long time, so the phenomenon of O-shaped legs is present at birth.
In fact, except for the bending angle is really too large, otherwise it can be regarded as a physiological abnormality, as he grows older, will tend to normal, parents can not be too worried, however, some parents are still very worried, very afraid that children because of the unattractive leg shape will affect the future walking posture, but also afraid of the derivation of other leg diseases. If you really want to know whether your child’s O-leg is really serious enough to need treatment, you can take him to the hospital for some tests, such as using X-rays to check if the angle of his knee bends too much, otherwise you just need to keep watching.
If the bending angle of the baby’s leg does not become large, but when the child grows older, combined with other problems, such as sitting and crawling than the normal baby is much more behind, or by the age of 2 years old walking or often fall down and other phenomena, you may need to consider whether the baby is more backward in the development of gross motor. In addition, a small number of babies with O-shaped legs are due to family genetic factors. The physician stressed that if the parents themselves have the phenomenon of inward eight or O-legged legs, if the child has a similar condition, it is a normal condition and there is no need to be too alarmed.
In addition to physiological problems, there may also be other pathological problems, “many babies are born, his feet may show the inward eight position or the whole foot turned to the inner body center of the situation. Sometimes the baby’s foot will automatically return to its normal position, or use the fingertips to gently pull, it may also return to its normal position, if it can easily return to its normal position, it belongs to the physiological inward and outward foot. Generally, as long as experienced physicians, when a baby is born, once they see some slight abnormalities in the shape of his legs, they will usually deal with them in real time, gently pushing them to make sure that using external force to correct them can help the baby’s feet to return to their normal position.
Parents pay attention to children’s leg line at all times, “natural observation is more important than everything else to understand whether there is an abnormal situation in the first place,” in addition to relying on the professional examination of the physician, pay attention to several key points to grasp the primary timing to correct the baby’s leg shape:.
First, the subjective feeling: whether the baby screams pain time is very frequent.
Second, the change in appearance: walking posture is very strange, etc.
Functional performance: Babies often fall down and cry out for sore legs after walking a few steps, etc. These are things that parents can observe on a regular basis.
It is important to understand the overall development and changes of the child. Many leg abnormalities and diseases are only a transitional period for the overall development of the child.
Many parents buy many nutritional products and supplements to strengthen bone function, but the effect is not as good as more exercise and adequate nutrition. Experts especially recommend that parents, give up expensive nutrients, return to the most natural way, you can get a healthy body.
First, try to avoid sleeping on your stomach. Although sleeping on your back does not necessarily directly prove that it will have a negative impact on the baby’s legs, but when the baby sleeps on his back, it will make the child’s ankles are turned inward or outward, for a long time, it may also affect his leg shape.
Second, avoid sitting on your knees. Some children are learning to crawl or learn to walk, may crawl a crawl to sit up the situation, children sitting on their knees, his feet are mostly turned out, parents had better try to help the baby to move the foot type, to help him return to the normal state, but still try to avoid letting him sit on his knees better.
Correct sitting posture and wrong sitting posture.
1, many children like to sit on their knees, will make the leg shape into a W-shaped, this is the wrong way to sit.
2, you should let your baby sit cross-legged.
O-leg” and “eight-legged” correction “O-legged” commonly known as loopy leg, medically known as knee inversion, external eight-legged also known as “X-legged”. It is a common deformity in China. The incidence is especially high in adolescents. Young men and women who have this lower limb deformity, not only lost the beauty of the body, walking disadvantage, sometimes also affect the military, work and even affect love, some into the mental depression, and even pessimism and anxiety.
The main cause of “O” leg and “X” leg deformity is pediatric rickets. A few are due to cartilage development disorders, fractures, trauma, bone tumors and other sequelae. When children suffer from rickets, due to insufficient calcium salts, the cartilage in the epiphysis cannot be ossified normally, and the original bone is decalcified and absorbed, thus the bone is softened and cannot withstand the effect of gravity, and the ligaments around the knee joint are relaxed and lose the support and protection of the bone. “O” and “X” shaped legs.
This deformity of the leg not only affects the body shape and beauty, but also has a great impact on human health, which is often under-recognized. Inversion or valgus disrupts the normal force distribution of the knee joint, increasing the biological stress on one side of the joint and decreasing it on the opposite side. Over time, it can also cause pain when walking on the knee and affect joint movement, which can lead to osteoarthritis of the knee. Correction of this deformity not only enhances physical fitness, but also improves the imbalance in the distribution of stress in the knee joint.
