If parents do not pay attention to their children's body movements between the ages of 1 and 3, prolonged exposure to those movements can potentially affect bone growth and the aesthetic appearance of the human body structure. For example, X-shaped legs, O-shaped legs, and so on. Perhaps it doesn't affect normal life now, but it will still have an impact on future life. So, what is the most effective movement to correct X-shaped legs?
The most effective movement for correcting X-shaped legs
The first method: First, maintain an upright position with your body, then bring your feet together and place your hands on your knees. Use squatting in front of your knees as the standard, and then stand up. Repeat this process 20 to 30 times.
The second method: First, bend down, then place your hands on your knees, and then perform left, right, left, and right circular movements. Each movement should be repeated 20 to 30 times to achieve the desired effect of correcting leg shape.
The third method: First, keep your left and right feet slightly apart, then bend your waist and place your hands on your knees. Stop the exercise with your knees facing inward for 10 seconds each time, repeating 5 to 10 times.
Fourth option: First, keep your feet parallel and maintain a standing posture. Then go to the heel toe axis and perform outward and inward rotation movements; Then rotate the heel toe axis, outward and inward, with each foot doing 20 to 30 times.
How are X-shaped legs produced
X-shaped legs refer to the gait in which the two knees collide when standing with each other, and the heels of the two feet cannot be close together, resulting in a fighting and touching gait when walking After the feet are together, only the knees can touch, and there are gaps between the thighs and calves. X-shaped legs belong to the lower limb changes during the growth period, usually occurring between the ages of four and six. If X-shaped legs still appear after the ages of four to five or six, the reason may be congenital inheritance or acquired due to poor sitting posture, such as W-shaped sitting posture.
There are three main reasons for the formation of "X" legs, one is rickets in children, another is congenital inheritance, and a small part is sequelae caused by cartilage development disorders, trauma, fractures, etc. This type of leg deformity not only affects shape and fitness, but also has a significant impact on human health. Knee eversion or inversion disrupt the normal distribution of force in the knee joint, causing an increase in biological stress on one side of the joint and a relative decrease on the other side. Over time, this can cause pain when walking in the knee joint and affect joint movement, which can easily lead to osteoarthritis. Correcting this leg shape can not only enhance physical fitness, but also improve the uneven distribution of knee joint stress.
From the above article, it can be understood that X-shaped legs have a significant impact on the aesthetic appearance of the human body structure, and if one wants to correct them, they must make persistent efforts. If the baby currently does not have X-shaped legs, the baby's parents should not lower their guard and always pay attention to the baby's limb placement habits to avoid the possibility of X-shaped legs.
