Nowadays, every family with a baby treasures the baby very much and devotes a lot of effort to every stage of the child's growth. Especially when the baby is learning to walk, you need to pay more attention to it. Some babies walk with their feet turned inward. What is the reason why the baby walks with his feet turned inward? This is something everyone wants to know. I will give you a brief introduction below and hope it can help you.

Baby, what is the reason for walking with your feet turned inward?

It is a phenomenon that babies walk with their feet turned inward. There are many reasons for this:

1. When babies walk, they adopt different gaits to stand and land comfortably and naturally correct the body's gravity. This is obviously physiological, and if the situation is not serious, the pigeon-toed phenomenon will disappear as the baby grows.

2. Tibial internal rotation deformity. This is a congenital phenomenon. The baby's tibia is not straight, but rotates inward at the ankle, causing the baby to walk with his feet turned inward. This condition must be treated as soon as possible.

The patient was treated in the hospital and the condition was corrected by wearing specially made 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.

3. Children with "O"-shaped legs and "X"-shaped legs have different gaits when walking, with the knees as the center. "O"-shaped legs are caused by the child's tibia bending inward, forming an "O" shape when the legs are together; "X"-shaped legs are caused by genu valgum, and when the legs are together, the calves turn outward, forming an "X" shape with the thighs.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why babies walk with their feet turned inward. Now you know it, right? If your baby walks with his feet turned inward and it persists, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. If there are other problems, you should seek timely treatment to ensure your baby's healthy growth. Finally, I hope every baby grows up healthily!
