Sitting cross-legged is a state of external rotation of the legs, which is helpful for improving internal pronation. During the normal development of children, internal rotation of the tibia will occur for a period of time. It will get better on its own within a year or two without any special intervention. However, it should be noted that if the internal rotation continues to worsen, timely intervention and correction are required. In addition to the causes of pronation, there are other problems that can also cause pronation, such as foot eversion, foot inversion, foot adduction, etc. If it is caused by these reasons, you need to wear corrective shoes for correction in time. The younger the age, the better the intervention effect. Therefore, it is very important to clearly identify the type of situation the child belongs to and to treat the symptoms accordingly.
