What should children do when they walk?
Question 2: What if the child walks a little? Children's leg diseases and leg shapes seem to be a part that many parents often ignore, especially younger children; Many leg diseases and abnormalities are very subtle and often overlooked by parents. This part needs careful observation by adults to avoid regrets caused by negligence.
Inner eight, outer eight
Pediatric orthopedic experts said that when pregnant mommy is pregnant again, the fetal position, amniotic fluid volume, parity, fetal size, tire pressure and so on. May have an impact on fetal leg abnormalities. After the baby is born, "varus and valgus foot" are the most common leg abnormalities.
Internal eight and external eight are not a syndrome, sometimes many problems will be combined, in addition to physiological problems, there may be other pathological problems. "Director Lin said that when many babies are born, their feet may be in the posture of the inner eight, or the whole foot may turn to the inside of the body center. Sometimes the baby's foot will automatically return to the normal position, or it may return to the normal position with a slight finger pull. If you can easily return to the normal position, it is physiological varus foot. Generally speaking, as long as an experienced doctor sees some slight abnormalities in his leg shape when the baby is born, he will usually deal with them in real time and gently push them to ensure that they are corrected by external force, which can help the baby's feet return to normal position.
However, it is a pity that although the development of orthopedics is booming in recent years, the information transmission is still a little insufficient, and many children's abnormal foot problems are not discovered immediately at birth, so parents should pay attention to themselves or find problems through further careful examination by professional doctors.
"Natural observation is more important than anything else, so that we can know if there is any abnormality in the first time." In addition to relying on the professional examination of doctors, experts specially remind parents to pay attention to several key points and grasp the first time to correct the baby's leg shape:
First, subjective feelings: Is the baby crying frequently?
Second, changes in appearance: strange walking posture, etc.
Third, functional performance: the baby often falls down, and shouts leg soreness after a few steps. Parents can observe it on weekdays. As long as they find something wrong, take it to a pediatrician, which is the most correct way.
O-leg, X-leg
Generally speaking, the so-called O-leg refers to bilateral symmetrical genu varus. When a child reaches the age of one and a half to three, the development of leg shape will gradually turn into eversion (it looks like an X-shaped leg). As soon as the baby is born, the leg shape may bend for a long time, so there is an O-leg phenomenon at birth.
In fact, except that the bending angle is really too big, it is also a physiological abnormality. As he grows older, he will tend to be normal, so parents need not worry too much. However, some parents are still worried that their children's bad leg shape will affect their walking posture in the future, and they are also afraid of other diseases on their legs. If you really want to know whether the child's O-leg is really serious enough to need treatment, you can take it to the hospital for some tests, such as X-ray to check whether the angle of his knee is too large, otherwise you just need to continue observation.
If the angle of the baby's leg bending does not become larger, but as the child grows older, other problems will appear, such as sitting and crawling in seven places is much behind the average normal baby, or walking at the age of 2 or often falling down. It may be necessary to consider whether the baby is behind in the development of gross movements. In addition, a small number of babies with O-legs are caused by family genetic factors. The doctor stressed that if mom and dad's own leg shape is a little bit of a splayed or O-shaped leg phenomenon, if the child has a similar situation, it is normal and there is no need to be too alarmed.
Dr. Ding Ning Jr.
Understanding the overall development and changes of children is the most important thing. Many leg abnormalities and diseases are only a transitional period for children's overall development. What is important is whether parents can understand the development and changes that children should have.
Let the baby have a strong body and bones, balanced nutrition and exercise, is always the same way. Many parents buy a lot of nutrients and supplies to strengthen bone function, but the effect is not as good as more exercise and adequate nutrition. Experts especially advise parents to give up expensive nutrition and return to the most natural way to get a healthy body.
Q: What points should we pay attention to in our daily life so as not to cause wrong legs ... >>
Question 3: What should a six-year-old child do when walking? Can he change? This requires him to restrain himself. Now he is only six years old. Fortunately, we should help him change it. I have to find a way to make him remember. When I was a child, I pierced my eyes when I was eating, and my mother knocked twice with chopsticks. I'm not asking you to hit the child, but trying to make him remember. Usually, I can change it myself.
Question 4: What should children do when they walk? "Doctor, how can our children walk with eight characters in it? Too ugly! " , "what? Maybe it will get better when I grow up. Girls! What if it is not good in the future! " "We heard that children's problems should be treated early, otherwise they will not be corrected in the future. Is there any good way to make him get better soon? " These are common problems in pediatric orthopedic clinics. During fetal development, the lower limbs gradually bend to adapt to the narrow space in the uterus. When the first fetus, oligohydramnios, breech position, uterine malformation and fetal size are too large, the fetus, especially the lower limbs, is most vulnerable to compression and deformation. Moreover, because the posture of each fetus in the uterus is different, the deformation at birth is also inconsistent, some are varus and some are eversion. Generally speaking, the calf has obvious pronation bending, while the hip joint is in flexion and supination posture. So some parents say that their children are different from their neighbors' children, of course. After birth, most of this deformation caused by intrauterine compression can return to normal as long as the compression is lifted. Some people with genetic predisposition are unlikely to recover naturally and need special attention and treatment. N After learning to walk, some children who have just learned to stand will get better, and parents will notice the obvious phenomenon of "external eight characters". When standing, your feet curl outward, almost in a straight line. This kind of child's lower limbs are prone to eversion, but the internal rotation is quite tight. This is because the child's hip joint flexes and rotates outward in the fetal period, which leads to the tension of the external rotator of the hip joint. Generally speaking, after you start walking, your muscles can relax and your external horoscope will gradually improve. If you really want to do something to speed up your recovery, it is recommended to do lower limb internal rotation. Because few people come to see a doctor when they grow up, it is enough to prove that this situation will naturally get better. Children with eight characters in N need "lacing". As for n, there are quite a few. As mentioned above, most fetuses are in the state of varus, calf pronation and hip flexion in the uterus. Therefore, after giving birth, some children have varus due to too much intrauterine pressure, but their flexibility is still quite high, that is to say, they can be pulled back to their normal positions with a slight force, and joint activities are not restricted. Generally speaking, this situation does not require treatment. At best, as long as you do "stretching" exercise, that is, massage outward and upward, you will return to normal in a month or two. This is different from "clubfoot". The foot of clubfoot has been deformed, the heel is tight, it is not easy to pull back to the normal position, and the movement in all directions is also restricted. Treatment must be covered with plaster, and those who have not fully recovered need surgery. N * * *, corrective shoes and plaster are used to correct children's metatarsal adduction. Another situation is metatarsal adduction, which is different from varus foot. When the metatarsal bone is adducted, only the front end of the foot bends inward, and its softness varies with each child. If you can easily pull back to the normal position, you don't need special treatment, just tie the ribs. If considerable force is needed to pull back to the normal position or it cannot be completely pulled back to the normal position, corrective shoes or plaster are needed for treatment. Only in this case, it makes sense to change shoes left and right, and the inside of the shoes should be hard. We believe that the effect of customized orthopedic shoes or gypsum is relatively certain. A few serious people, after four years old, the front end of their feet still bends inward, which is unsightly and affects wearing shoes. Some people think that this kind of foot is prone to hallux valgus deformation in the future This situation can be considered for surgical correction. Sleeping on your stomach, kneeling and O-legs are not easy for children over one year old and under three years old, especially those who are learning to walk? The most common is the inner figure of eight, which will merge with the "O" leg. The reason is that the calf pronation caused by fetal position is completely restored, and the stability of the child is not enough. The foot needs to be opened to stabilize the pronation of the foot. This situation, with the growth of age, the development of nerves, muscles and ligaments is becoming more and more mature, and will gradually return to normal, so parents don't have to worry. However, prone sleeping and kneeling posture hinder its natural recovery and should be avoided as much as possible. Children with "TV legs" encourage them to sit in the pan. Children under three years old, especially girls, have different reasons for taking the figure of eight, all of which are caused by excessive forward leaning of the upper femur. Because of this kind of bone problem, when a child walks, his lower limbs must rotate inward, that is, in the shape of an inner figure of eight, which is more powerful and stable. When parents often tell their children to walk straight or pay special attention, children can "walk well", but if they don't pay attention, they will "relapse". In fact, children don't mean it. Walking upright is really laborious and tiring. This kind of child likes to sit back and spread his feet back, which is the "W" sitting method, or commonly known as "TV" >>
