, why yellow people & ldquo; Self contained & rdquo; O-leg? Northerners have straighter legs?

60% of yellow people have congenital mild O-shaped legs. Wrapping and pulling in infancy can not improve the O-shaped legs, but is unfavorable to the natural activities of children’s hands and feet.

the older generation living in the North think children pack & ldquo; Candle bag & rdquo;, It can prevent children from moving around and make their legs straight and long, while the south is used to carrying children with a back towel, which makes them more comfortable. Dr. Li, director of orthopedics department of the hospital, pointed out, & ldquo; Candle bag & rdquo; There is a hidden danger of hip dislocation, and the back towel is more conducive to the development of hip joint.

it’s cold in the north. After a newborn is born, adults are afraid of the child’s cold and will give the child a bag & ldquo; Candle bag & rdquo;, This wrapping method needs to bind the lower limbs, and before the child is born to half a year old, it is a stage of rapid development of the hip joint; Candle bag & rdquo; Forcibly straightening the child’s legs will limit the movement of the hip joint and easily induce hip joint problems.

in the south, parents like to carry their children with back towels. The back scarf is usually a piece of cloth, which ties the baby in front of or behind the chest through the hanging ring. It is suitable for smaller babies.

in this way, children are comfortable and do not hinder parents from working. And most importantly, this form of holding can make the child’s hip develop freely without restraint and reduce the risk of hip dislocation.

Yellow & ldquo; Self contained & rdquo; The O-shaped leg can not be straightened by binding.

chief physician Li said that there are two main reasons for the real O-shaped leg, one is rickets caused by lack of vitamin D, and the other is the bending of leg bones caused by premature standing and crawling. Because the bones in infancy are very soft and can not bear too much strength, it is not suitable to practice standing too much before the age of 1.

experts pointed out that in fact, 60% of yellow people have congenital mild O-shaped legs. Wrapping and pulling in infancy can not improve the O-shaped legs, but is unfavorable to the natural activities of children’s hands and feet. Moreover, because the wrapping is too strict, it will affect the heat dissipation of newborn skin, which will cause some diseases. If the wrapping is too tight, it will also dislocation the child’s hip joint and cause lifelong disability.

The child’s O-shaped legs may straighten.

experts say that the baby’s legs are like frog legs, which is what we call O-shaped legs. In fact, it is very normal, because the limbs are still abducted and flexed after birth, Like in the mother, this is a normal physiological phenomenon, and parents don’t have to worry too much.

and the child’s leg type changes with age. About 1 year old, due to the influence of body proportion, frequent diaper use and weight balance, the lower limbs usually tend to O-type; From the age of 2.5 to 5 years old, the leg shape begins to appear knee valgus, which is light & ldquo; X-shaped legs & rdquo;; Around the age of 7, the child’s legs gradually straighten and basically grow into the leg shape of an adult. Children’s performance at different stages & ldquo; O-leg & rdquo; And & ldquo; X-shaped legs & rdquo; Most of them will correct themselves. Generally, they do not need special treatment, as long as they pay more attention to observation.

with asymmetric thigh lines, parents should pay attention to

although most of the child’s O-legs are normal, parents should pay attention to the child’s legs when the child has asymmetric thighs. In addition to dermatoglyphic asymmetry, the following signals also suggest that there may be problems with the hip joint, such as unequal length of both lower limbs, limited hip abduction, bouncing of the hip joint when urinating, or different strength of both lower limbs. After the child walks independently, he has painless claudication, and the affected limb cannot be independent. If both sides are dislocated, the body swings back and forth when walking, just like a duckling walking. In this case, we should go to the hospital for corresponding examination to check whether there is a hip problem.

o How to correct

first, adjust the walking posture

you can do this: when walking, learn to focus on the inside of your legs. A good walking posture is that the body is upright, the abdomen is closed, the waist is straight, the eyes are straight ahead, the arms swing naturally on both sides of the body, the toes extend slightly outward or straight ahead, and the steps are uniform. At the beginning of adjustment, you may feel very uncomfortable. You have the feeling that you can’t walk. It will be natural after a long time.

second, remember to do the clamping action as soon as you are free

you can do this: whether waiting for the bus, in the office or watching TV, remember to straighten your legs and clamp your knees hard from time to time, 3-5 times a day, about 15 minutes each time. This can not only correct the leg shape for a long time, but also the effect of thin legs, especially thin thighs.

third, squat correction exercises the inner leg muscles

you can do this: your feet are the same width as your shoulders, your feet and knee joints buckle slightly, squat and stand up, and you don’t need to squat completely. 20 times in each group, 2-4 groups a day. If you stick to it for a month, you will see the effect.
