What should I do if my two-year-old baby walks with his feet turned inward? Parents can do this!

When babies first start walking, they are very unstable and their entire walking movements are deformed. However, some babies walk with their feet turned obviously inward. At this time, parents must be careful and correct it in time, because the longer this situation continues, the more difficult it will be to change.

1. Family correction

If you find that your child has pigeon-toed feet, corrective exercises should be performed early. You can train by walking in a straight line. If the child is younger, the parent can help the child practice from behind. Put your hands under the child's armpits to help the child walk along a wider straight line. During the walking process, parents should pay attention to letting the child's feet leave the ground, with the focus on the toes. When the baby bends his knees and steps forward, there can be a slight friction between the two knees. You must practice at least twice a day and persist for a long time to see results. For older children, you can let them walk along a tape or straight line on the floor in front of the mirror at least 1-2 times a day. When practicing, ask your child to pay attention to the movements of the instep and toes. With repeated practice, the "splayed feet" posture can be corrected over time.

2. Surgical correction

Treatment through surgery is designed according to the principles of human biomechanics and can scientifically correct children's irregular foot forces to help the foot bones grow healthily.

3. Correction by wearing special inward-facing orthopedic shoes

This type of shoe is customized according to the inward rotation of the baby's feet. The upper is high to fix the baby's ankle joint. The bottom is made with a certain slope according to the cause of the baby's foot disease. As the baby's gait changes, a pair of shoes is generally replaced every six months.

Things to note when walking with your feet turned inside out

1. First, you need to strengthen the legs, arches and ankle joints. For example: practice standing still with your feet together and pushing upward, practice running with your legs raised high in place or while moving (you can control the amplitude and speed yourself).

2. Master the correct running techniques and, under the guidance of a teacher, repeatedly practice the correct techniques to achieve dynamic standardization of the movements.

3. Students who have inward or outward-turned feet due to the influence of their living environment should pay attention to developing the corresponding muscles. For example, do some exercises on internal rotation and external rotation of the thigh and do exercises on internal rotation and external rotation of the ankle by hooking the instep.
