3. Tibial pronation: It is more common in children from one to three years old. It's normal to look at the shape of your feet, but when you walk, your feet turn inward. More seriously, parents can find that their calves are pronated, their arches are sunken, and they often stumble.
4, the upper end of the femur leans forward excessively: most children over three years old walk in this category. These children like Japanese sitting posture with W-shaped feet. 5. High arch foot/heel inversion: Some children with high arch foot have biomechanical changes and subsidence of the foot, and the muscle strength of the foot decreases, resulting in the phenomenon of figure-eight walking.
6. Improper wearing of shoes: shoes that are too big or too small can not support the feet correctly, resulting in uneven stress on the soles of the feet, affecting the development of the bones of the feet and causing physical imbalance. If the child is found to have a long-term ankle sprain or unstable walking, the arch of the foot may have gradually turned and deformed, and there is a phenomenon of walking in the inner figure or the outer figure. 7. Wear diapers: Some parents generally like to wear diapers for their babies in order to go out conveniently, especially when the weather is cold. In the long run, it will cause O-legs or the phenomenon of eight characters inside and eight characters outside.
8, the use of walkers: early and frequent use of walkers, but also easy to cause eight or eight gait.
9. It is too early to learn to walk: Some mothers measure their baby's intelligence sooner or later, so they are eager to let the baby learn to walk. Because the baby's body is in the development stage, the gait strength is not enough. When walking and standing, the feet naturally separate, so that the sole area is widened, the strength of the ankle joint is increased, and the fall is prevented, resulting in a posture in which the feet are naturally separated, resulting in an inner figure.
10, genetic.
What should the baby do if he finds the inner eight characters? Pediatric podiatrists at the University of Washington Medical Center advised parents: "Children's feet are definitely not the embryonic form of adult feet. They are quite plastic and their shapes are easy to change. " . Children grow up only once. Correct foot care can promote the normal development of children's feet and prevent the deviation and deformity of foot bone growth. If there are children with mild inner eight or outer eight, choose a pair of shoes with appropriate size and moderate hardness. When mom and dad are observing whether the shoes are suitable for little feet, they might as well put on new shoes for two or three hours and take off their shoes to see if the children's feet are red and swollen, or if there are any signs of friction on their skin. If you have the above symptoms, the shoes are not suitable.
Growing children should develop the good habit of wearing shoes and sleep and sit correctly. When parents find that their children's arch collapses or the phenomenon of "inner eight" appears when walking, they will pay attention to it and let professionals customize a pair of close-fitting corrective shoes for their babies. Orthopedic insole combined with orthotic belt can keep the correct biomechanical stress of the foot, improve the symptoms of "internal eight" and prevent the deviation of spinal growth.
