Differences in the development of the legs are approx.40% are below 4.5-5 years.In most situations, children are diagnosed with valgus deformation.With this pathology, the child's feet are flat and seems to fall on each other.The outer sides of the legs rise slightly.If you look at the baby's leg from above, they form the letter H.
Leg deformation in children - caused
The difference in the legs is due to inadequate leagues.As a result of the severity of the body, they are deformed, the bones are moved and bowed.The child's valgus leg is formed for a number of reasons, which are conditionally divided into 2 groups:
- congenital;
- Acquired.
The congenital valgus deformation of the leg
The problem develops during the intrauterine formation of the fetal limbs.The flat valley leg occurs due to improper location and growth of bones.It is less likely to be bent in the background of intrauterine damage and joint dysplasia.In newborn children, the leg degradation is diagnosed immediately after childbirth or during the first months of infant life.At this stage, it is easy to adjust the shape of the leg, restore the height and the right bends.
Deform
This type of pathology occurs for external reasons that affect the muscle bone system.At first, the valgus deformation of children is not very noticeable.The pronounced signs of the problem are observed at 10-12 months when the baby tries to walk alone.The flat-Walgus leg of the children acquired is formed for the following reasons:
- no supervision;
- Weakness of connective tissues;
- serious infections (bronchitis, pneumonia, acute respiratory viral infections and others);
- Intrauterine muscle hypotrophy;
- Angle;
- Myodistrophy;
- polio;
- brain paralysis;
- Polyneuropathy;
- Mechanical injuries and fractures of limbs with long -term plaster binding;
- obesity;
- The baby is too early setting on the legs, early attempts to teach him to walk;
- inappropriate shoe selection;
- Little mobility;
- Calcium deficiency in the body;
- unbalanced, low nutrition;
- Endocrine diseases.
In children the signs of the valgus foot
The early symptoms of the infringement described are closer to the first year of the child's life.Parents notice that the baby is not based on the entire foot, but only on the inside.The differences between changed legs and healthy legs are clearly shown in the picture below.Signs of pathology in children depend on the degree of leg deformation:
- The light strip is characterized by flattening of the legs, which is significant without a Minabantur leg.The ankles of the ankles from a straight line, perpendicular heel, up to 15 degrees.
- Foot deformation in children with moderate severity is accompanied by smoothing of the legs, but is 15-20 degrees.
- The severe disease combines the pronounced flat legs and a large angle to 20-30 degrees.
- The extremely severe stage is characterized by a strong smoothing of the leg vault.The Minabantur ankle exceeds 30 degrees.
Non -specific symptoms of defective development:
- clumsy, sliding walking;
- Fatigue running and active games;
- discomfort in the legs;
- The mood and irritability of the baby.
Foot deformation in children - treatment
Therapeutic methods are selected separately for each child, according to the degree of pathology.2 It is possible to adjust the flat valgus deformation of the legs, not by surgical and operational methods.In the first case, therapy includes special orthopedic footbaths and shoes, massage and physiotherapy exercises.Surgical intervention is very rare (about 7% of children) if the standard approach does not work or the disease is diagnosed at severe stages.
Orthopedic shoes for children with Valgus deformation
Boots and sandals are only prepared for an order for the child with the problem with the problem.The orthopedic shoes of the Valgus deformation are made by the physician unique or according to accurate measurements.It is undesirable to buy such products.The mass production of the shoe is carried out according to the average parameters, which do not correspond to the specific corner of the leg difference and smoothing of the legs.
With the help of a pair of sandals or boots, the child's leg is not repaired - treatment involves long -term wear.Gradual restoration of leg growth and shape requires a timely shoe replacement.You can't buy it for the future or you can't wear small sizes.The infant's legs should be strictly secured to the lower leg, the heel and socks.
Insoles with the Degus deformation of children's feet
These accessories are made like shoes, strictly separate.Proper treatment of leg dive deformation is complicated and passes through simple and simple sections.The size, shape, shape of the spinator should be selected according to the smoothing of each leg and the angle of difference.They quickly fix a slight deformation of the foot, with 3-5 pairs of tests tested.With the average and severe degree of disease, the insoles often need to be replaced for several years.
Massage with the valley deformation of children's feet
Manual therapy plays a very important role in the treatment of pathology.The procedures must be performed by a qualified specialist.Parents can only massage themselves with the valgus deformation only after training with a handheld.Manipulation includes the work of the muscles:
- at the back;
- victim and lower part;
- butt;
- hip;
- goals;
- The front surface of the legs.
During the massage, passive therapeutic joint movements are performed at the same time.The correctly implemented process of procedures contributes to the following:
- improving nerve leadership;
- normalization of leg mobility;
- reinforcement of muscle lining;
- Raising the general voice of the body.
Massage carpet with religus legs for children
This accessory is used as a complementary manual therapy.The embossed carpet helps:
- Set the height of the foot arc;
- enhances blood circulation;
- increase leg elasticity and mobility;
- Get rid of pain during walking and running.
The accessory is selected depending on the size of the irregularities and protrusions depending on the age of crumb and the speed of flat-valgus deformation.For children under the age of 3, it is better to buy a carpet that is close to each other.Children older than the age is indicated can offer to run along a embossed surface, with major irregularities that imitate mussels or sea stones.
Practical therapy to deform children's legs
The gym complex should recommend an orthopedist according to the child's pathology, age and abilities.It is desirable that the main treatment of Valgus deformation with physical education is under the guidance of a specialist.At home, you can perform simple gymnastics that offers baby lessons in a playful way.Easy exercises with deformation of children's legs:
- walking on the stones, small balls, on the stairs of a rope;
- Fixing with the fingers of small objects - pencil, scarf, coins;
- Rolling a rolling tap in the leg, ball;
- painting with thumb;
- “Goose Step” - movement, squat;
- Walking on the outside and inside of the socks, on the corner;
- "Crocodile" - the child goes into his arms, his parents keep his feet;
- I squat from a gymnastics position (transferred to a gymnastic stick (interchangeable with a mop).
Deformation of the Foot - Operation
The optimum age of surgical intervention is considered to be 8-12 years.The operation is prescribed when the flat-valgus deformation of the extremely severe legs is diagnosed with an angle of more than 30 degrees.The surgeon selects the safest and minimally invasive treatment methods separately.Foot degradation in children is modified by the following types of operations:
- Strengthening the back tibial muscle tendons;
- Pulled Artro -vet;
- extending the Achilles;
- Gradual introduction of external fastening tools.
