In summer, many children start wearing shorts and skirts. Some parents will notice that their children's legs are not straight, and some are even "X-shaped". What should we do in the face of the above situation? Don't panic, next, the editor will show you what X-shaped legs are?

"Knock knees" are commonly known as "X-shaped legs". Due to its intuitive and vivid characteristics, most people are accustomed to using the popular name "X-shaped legs". "X-shaped legs" refers to the inward bending deformity of the lower limbs, often accompanied by femoral internal rotation and tibial external rotation. Children with "X-shaped legs" not only have deformities in appearance, but also often sway from side to side when walking, with unstable gait and knees hitting each other.

What is X-shaped legs

Normal leg shape: When standing, the knees are close together and the inner ankles can also be naturally close together.

X-shaped legs: also known as knock knees, when the knees are close together, the inner ankles cannot be naturally close together.

The distance between the inner ankles is less than 3cm for mild, 3-6cm for moderate, and >6cm for severe "X-shaped legs".

X-shaped legs can be divided into two types: functional X-shaped legs and structural X-shaped legs. When standing, the human body can adjust itself to bring the knees and feet together. X-shaped legs only appear in habitual postures and movements, such as gait, squatting (single or double legs), and going up and down stairs. This is a functional X-shaped leg. In severe cases, if the knee joints are close together, no matter how you adjust and exert force, the inner ankles of the feet cannot touch each other, which is a structural X-shaped leg.

Common groups of X-shaped legs

1. Children aged 2-8 years old, but most of the knee valgus can be corrected by themselves as they age, but it is recommended that if "X-shaped legs" are found, they should seek medical treatment in time and seek professional sports and lifestyle guidance. 2. People with flat feet, the collapse of the inner arch of the foot will cause the knee joints to move inwards. 3. Obese and rickets patients; fracture trauma, sequelae of bone tumors, etc.

The harm of X-shaped legs

Knee pain is easy to occur 01 The joint space on the outside of the knee is reduced under X-shaped legs, and the force is increased, which is easy to cause the compression of the lateral meniscus, and the medial collateral ligament is stretched, causing pain on the inside and outside of the knee.

Muscle compensation and local tension 02 Because X-shaped legs are easy to cause tibial torsion, the optimal force line of the knee force changes, which is easy to cause iliotibial band syndrome. At the same time, the medial collateral ligament bears more tension and is more susceptible to injury.

It is easy to cause abnormal force on the whole body 03 X-shaped legs will affect the ankle joint downwards, and the hip joint, lumbar spine, and even cervical spine upwards, causing low back pain and neck pain.

If you find that you have X-shaped legs, or have pain in your ankles, knees, and waist, it is recommended to see a doctor in time, and our professional rehabilitation therapist will conduct a posture assessment for you and provide professional exercise guidance.

At the same time, it can be matched with customized orthotic insoles to correct the position of the affected foot and provide arch support to improve stability, as well as increase cushioning for the foot. Physical therapy can also be used to stretch and strengthen the muscles and tendons of the foot to improve their muscle tone and tendon flexibility.

X-shaped leg custom insoles

In addition, customized insoles can effectively prevent the aggravation of X-shaped legs. 3D printed insoles can balance foot pressure and reduce pain. Beishenglingxing uses 3D printing technology combined with the biomechanical principles of human movement. Through the orthopedic biomechanical changes of the forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot, the plantar pressure is redistributed and the force line of the lower limbs is adjusted to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating X-shaped legs at the same time.

3D printed X-shaped leg customized insoles are customized according to the patient's condition and scanned foot model, fit the body surface, and the fixation of the heel cup can effectively prevent the aggravation of X-shaped legs.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The foot is the "foundation" of a person. Children need healthy feet to walk, run and jump. Therefore, parents should always pay attention to the health of their children's feet. If you find any problems, please seek medical attention in time.

The intelligent foot detection system independently developed by Beishenglingxing is an intelligent analysis system based on the principles of biomechanics, integrating plantar pressure, gait analysis, posture balance and lower limb biomechanics research. It can collect static and dynamic plantar pressure data, analyze the relevant data of foot and ankle mechanics through software intelligence, and display them intuitively in the form of images and videos, providing a visual scientific basis for the research, evaluation and subsequent rehabilitation treatment of foot and ankle problems.

The prevention of X-shaped legs mainly involves wearing shoes that fit the feet, especially for those with a family history of the disease. It can also be prevented through exercise, by doing more foot exercises and exercising the foot muscles. Patients with hallux valgus, flat feet, inversion and inversion of the foot, and XO-shaped legs can wear customized insoles to prevent the occurrence of this disease.

If you find that your child's arch is not as obvious as that of his peers, you can put an arch pad on the child. Beisheng Lingxing focuses on foot spine health, and based on biomechanics and ergonomics, it provides foot testing and evaluation services for people with gait problems such as X/O-shaped legs, high and low arches, and flat feet, helping us understand our own foot and ankle development. Customized children's health insoles, adult health insoles and other series of products can effectively relieve and prevent foot diseases, use 3D printing technology to solve foot problems, and provide protection for their healthy growth.

If you have foot pain, flat feet, hallux valgus, inversion and inversion of the foot, etc., which affect walking, please come to Beisheng Lingxing Foot Spine Health Store for a detailed foot and gait test, and customize exclusive insoles to relieve the discomfort caused by foot problems.
