How to distinguish between baby's O-shaped legs and X shape1

  It is easy to distinguish between baby's O-shaped legs and X-shaped legs. In fact, "O-shaped legs", commonly known as "loop legs". The most obvious leg deformity of this kind is inversion, so it can be very obvious. Moreover, when the baby stands, the knees cannot be close together, and the legs will bend outward, forming an "O" shape.

  And "X-shaped legs", commonly known as "knee impingement syndrome", this leg deformity mainly manifests as the inability of the feet to be together. When standing, the two calves will be centered around the knees, so they will move apart to the sides, forming an "X" shape when viewed, which is commonly referred to as X-shaped legs.

  But at the beginning, when a baby just learns to walk, it is impossible to determine whether the baby has O-shaped legs and X-shaped legs. So in life, mothers should observe their babies carefully. If the baby still shows obvious signs after being able to walk, then the mother needs to take the baby to the hospital for medical treatment in a timely manner, and then adopt the correct way to let the baby exercise and improve leg shape problems.
