Why are there hoop legs? We all know that children have curly legs, but we really don't know much about those who just suffered from them, do we? Children have curly legs, and for different reasons, there are different solutions. Let's take a closer look below.
1、 Living environment
Nowadays, most households have tiles and flooring that are smooth and easy to discern. But this actually has an impact on children's bones. If the floor is too slippery, they need to use more force on their hind legs. Lazy children will like to split their legs apart, and over time, they will form loop legs, also known as O-shaped legs. Parents can encourage their children to walk on cement roads to correct their walking posture, or use anti slip mats at home.
2、 Long term calcium deficiency
Children need more and more nutrients and calcium during their growth process, and eating a single food for a long time can easily lead to calcium deficiency. However, calcium deficiency has a significant impact on children's bones, including cartilage weakness, O-shaped legs, spiral legs, external genitalia, and limping, all of which are manifestations of long-term calcium deficiency in children. Parents can feed their children calcium supplements to meet their calcium needs, and they can also cook big bone soup for their children on a regular basis. The most important thing is that parents should also take their children to bask in more sunlight, so as to better promote their absorption of calcium.
3、 Congenital dysplasia of the hip joint
There are many theories about abnormal development of the hip joint nowadays. Initially, it was believed to be epigenetic, but now it is widely believed that normal genes become abnormal changes due to postnatal interference. After a long period of observation, it was found that individuals with larger body size and faster growth in a family are more likely to experience this condition without being visible; However, individuals who grow slower and develop later do not exist. For the situation caused by hip dysplasia, the editor does not recommend surgery. If conservative treatment is recommended, long-term medication is needed to supplement the necessary nutrition, strengthen the bones, enhance muscle elasticity, reduce inflammation and pain, which can help restore the child's self-care ability.
There are three reasons why children have curly legs, and different causes will have different solutions. So once a child is found to have curly legs, early treatment is necessary.
