Why do babies have O-legs, chicken breasts and O-legs caused by rickets? The symptom of rickets is the disorder of calcium and phosphorus metabolism caused by the deficiency of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D, which leads to the calmness of calcium deposition in the human skeleton culture matrix in children's growth and development and the excessive accumulation of osteoid institutions. Vitamin D is more common in clinical medicine in China. Because of the lack of symptoms of rickets, babies belong to multiple groups. The clinical manifestations are easy sweating, night terrors, cranium, skull softening, delayed teething, O-leg or X-leg, etc. For O-legs caused by this situation, it is generally necessary to integrate vitamin D and iron supplements recommended by doctors, effectively balance the diet, enhance the sun exposure opportunity and gradually improve the exercise intensity.
Walking too early, because each baby's physical quality is different, so many babies will learn to walk later, which does not mean that their growth and development are slower than others, just because each baby's growth and development are different, for example, some children will talk earlier, some babies will learn to walk earlier, and some babies will teether earlier. Similarly, some babies will learn to walk later. At this time, some mothers will be eager for quick success and let their babies walk, but if it is long-term, it will cause the baby to weigh too early, leading to abnormal bone growth, which will lead to O-legs.
How to correct baby's O-leg. People with O-legs who adjust their walking posture often see the figure of eight when walking, that is, in the case of walking, their toes are divided outwards, and in the case of driving, their feet will exert outward force, and the kneecaps will suffer outward force. In the long run, the kneecaps will not be closed when standing up and become O-legs. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the walking posture first and learn to put the center of gravity on the inside of the leg. A good walking posture should be that the human body is standing, the abdomen is straight, the eyes are looking straight ahead, the arm releases pressure on both sides of the body, of course, shaking, the soles of the feet are slightly outward or directly forward, and the waist is symmetrical.
The straight hair splint is fixed, preferably after the child falls asleep at night. The way is: choose a piece of wood board that is about the same as the total width of a child's knee joint, and the length can include more than the middle between the foot and the thigh root, and first cover it with a soft rag to prevent crushing injury. According to the orientation of the deformity of the child's kneecap, empty the kneecap. If the child has an O-shaped leg, put the straight hair splint on the inside of the leg. First, fix the feet and knees with gauze, and then slowly fix the knees on the straight splint with strength. Gradually, it should not be too tight, so that the baby can integrate into the whole process. You can also use bilateral straight hair splint, but it is very inconvenient.
How to prevent the baby from having O-legs. Appropriate vitamin D supplementation, many parents think that it is enough to supplement calcium for their baby, and usually ignore vitamin D supplementation for their children. In fact, vitamin D promotes the digestion, absorption and storage of calcium and phosphorus, and also has the effect of preventing rickets. Naturally, it is necessary to fill children with vitamin D under the guidance of doctors. Prevent children from using baby walker, because the construction of baby walker will give children some inappropriate support points, so that children can't learn to walk in a normal posture. And baby walker will also prevent parents from observing their children's learning to walk.
