My foot walks in a figure of eight, how to correct it?

In daily life, we often see some people's feet outward or inward, which is often called "splayed feet". Shang, director of the Department of Orthopaedics of the 304th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, said that the main reason for splayed feet was that when I was a child, I stood up too early to learn to walk, and my legs were weak, so it was difficult to keep my balance. In this way, their toes naturally separate to the left and right, so as to expand the area of the soles of their feet, increase stability, prevent falling, and gradually form a habit. In addition, some people walk incorrectly, and gradually form a habit of splayed feet.

According to Director Shang, there are many ways to correct splayed feet, and kicking shuttlecock is a good exercise to correct splayed feet. If it's "splayed feet", do more internal kicking when kicking shuttlecock? That is, bend your knees and kick with the inside of your foot; If it is splayed feet, you can do more external kicks (that is, buckle your knees and kick with the outside of your feet).

In addition, there are many ways, such as squatting, people with splayed feet stand with their feet rotating outward; People with splayed feet stand, with their feet turning inward, doing squats and standing. Vertical jump, leg jump can correct the inner splayed foot, and cross-legged jump can correct the outer splayed foot. Or play football, sandbags and other things in a way that the outside or inside of the foot is constantly upward. Leg rest method: put one leg on a horizontal plane, first relax the joint ligament of the lower limb, and stretch your hands after about 10 minutes. People with splayed feet pull outward, while people with splayed feet pull inward. In the straight step method, two straight lines are drawn on the ground, and the distance between the two straight lines becomes a horizontal fist, which requires the heels and toes to step on the straight lines, and the pace is from small to large, from slow to fast. Straight-line jumping footwork: Pull a rope on the ground so that the soles of your feet are parallel to the rope, or you can run along the drawn straight line. You are required to step on the line at every step, with your knees and toes facing forward and not deviating.

It is worth noting that when doing various postures, we should pay attention to the direction of toe extension. If it is an "internal splayed foot", pay attention to the toes sticking out; If it is an "external splayed foot", try to extend your toes inward. Keep your knees and ankles in a straight line, especially when doing leg lifts, squats, jumps, etc. And the toes should consciously aim at the direction of progress and move along a straight line. We should also pay attention to the correct posture of sitting, standing, walking and running. As long as we pay attention to it and persevere, we will certainly achieve the goal of correction.
