What is O Leg? X shaped legs? Is there a possibility of a cure?

When the feet are together and the knees are relaxed and upright, the knees can be brought together, but the middle of the calf cannot touch, and the calf is a continuous slit from the knee joint to the ankle. This condition is mainly caused by uneven calf muscles and few medial muscles. In Japan, this condition of not having a straight calf is now called an "ox-shaped leg".

Whether it's the knee joint or the lower leg bone, there are no serious problems in this case. Therefore, if you want to improve this leg shape, it is useless to use methods such as positive o-yi and leggings. But it's not that it can't be improved.

How should this situation be handled? It is mainly to improve the curve of the calf by strengthening the muscles on the inner side of the calf. First of all, of course, it's a workout.

There is a simple way: spread your feet shoulder-width apart and buckle your toes inward; Straighten your legs, then do a squat and stand up again. Repeat 20 times as a set.

Rest for 10 minutes and do the second set. Do 4 sets a day. If you do this for 1 month, you will be able to strengthen the inner calf muscles.

The second method is to wear shoes with a high outer side and low inner side, or a corrective insole with a high outer side and low inner side in the shoe. In this way, when walking and standing, the inner calf muscles will be more tense, so that they can be exercised and strengthened. When exercising with these two methods, you should also pay attention to your usual walking posture, find out if there is any bad posture, which causes you to use more force on the outside when you walk or stand, and correct these postures when you find them, so as to solve the root cause of the problem.

You can also use the orthodontic pad to correct the orthodontic pad belongs to the physics** Mainly to correct your body when walking to avoid the negative force line of the human body If you don't understand, you can ask me at any time! Think it's okay!

O-shaped leg is the knee joint can not be combined, X-shaped leg is the knee joint and the ankle joint can not be combined, can not ** depends on the size of the child, if it is small, it is likely to be corrected, if it is big, it will be difficult.

Braces, leggings, etc. to recover, the advantage is that the cost is low and the risk is small, but the most important thing is to actively cooperate**, the effect is long, and the purpose of correction cannot be achieved without perseverance and perseverance. People with X-shaped legs will have inversion of the foot, resulting in a flatter planter. The outside of the heel of the sole is easy to wear, and the inside of the sole is also easy to wear.

The outside of the knee closes, creating an angle on the inside, so that the knee has to be pressed together. There are many legging tutorials, and I don't recommend sleeping leggings, correction is a gradual process, and quick success can lead to some problems in the body, such as leg pain or something. Do what I say and it will work really well.

It is because most people who suffer from this problem are caused by long-term bad lifestyle habits, so when you go to correct it, it is not effective once or twice, and if your habits do not improve, it will soon return to its original state. The body weight is concentrated on the lateral articular surface of the knee joint, the lower limb alignment is poor, and the friction between the patella and femur increases, which can easily lead to patellar malocracia. Excessive pressure and friction can lead to wear and tear on the cartilage surface of the lateral knee joint, collapse of the tibial plateau, and secondary osteoarthritis.

Squat down <> one leg slightly outward, stretch one leg straight to the side, hold the ankles of each foot with both hands, and press down on the straightened leg to stretch the inner thigh, and press each leg for half a minute. Walking posture: The normal walking situation is that the heel hits the ground first, and then slowly extends to the toes, and at first pay attention to staying conscious, because it is easy to forget to return to your own posture all at once.

To put it simply, due to the weakness of the gluteus maximus or gluteus medius, according to the compression of gravity, the weight of the body directly acts down on the joint, and causes the muscles of the inner thigh to stiffen, and the pressure on the inner thigh increases over time. There are high requirements for exercise intensity, exercise type, and action standards. If you exercise blindly on your own, not only will it not have the best effect, but it may even aggravate the symptoms of X-shaped legs.

Therefore, it is recommended that patients must go to a regular medical institution for correction.

I think this leg shape has a lot to do with sleeping, if we usually lie flat and straighten the legs, then this will not happen, if you want to correct this leg shape, you must go to the doctor, because they are more professional.

This leg shape is determined by genes, or caused by one's later walking style, which can be forcibly corrected by oneself, or surgery to correct the bones.

It is because the walking habits when we were children were not good, and we want to correct them, so we can usually do some exercises to correct the leg shape, and we must have professional people to guide us.

This is all due to congenital genetics. You can go to the hospital from a young age to have your bones aligned, so that you can correct your legs.

X-shaped legs are also called knee valgus, and most of them can be corrected conservatively**, including the use of splints or leggings, and corrective insoles. If there is rickets, it needs to be corrected after active calcium supplementation, and conservative ** has no effect, and surgical osteotomy and orthopedic surgery are required. The O-shaped leg is called knee varus, and its correction can first be conservative, such as tying the knee joint tightly with a rope, putting the feet together, and then doing actions such as bending the knee and squatting.

They may be born with heredity, or they may be because they usually walk the wrong way. We can stand more against the wall in normal times, and we can also change our walking posture.

Look at the difference between O and X, the knee is the center point, and the knee is not close to the O-shaped leg is the O-shaped leg, if the knee is close and the calf is open outward, it is the X-shaped leg. Newborn children can't be judged too early.

Draw o for O-leg walking, and draw X for X-shaped leg walking

Chengdu Southwest Brain Hospital-Liu Kexin-Deputy Chief Physician-Minimally Invasive Orthopedics-The difference between X-shaped leg and O-shaped leg is **.

O-Legs:

O-shaped legs are medically known as knee varus, commonly known as "looped legs", "bowed legs", and "basket legs". It refers to the rotation of the tibia of the lower leg inward at an angle at the knee joint, so it is called "knee varus".

The definition of knee varus is easily confused by the assumption that the lesion morphology is seen: the definition of knee varus is not named after the direction of the angle formed by the varus, but after the direction of the flip of the tibia of the lower leg. Knee varus, in which the knee joint is angled outward, is often mistaken for knee valgus.

With your heels and soles together, relax your legs and stand upright, if there is a distance between your knees, it means that you have O-shaped legs.

Generally, according to the two indicators of normal knee distance and active knee distance, the severity of O-shaped legs is judged.

The normal knee distance refers to the distance between the inside of the knee joints when the ankles of the feet are close together and the legs and knees are relaxed when the legs and knees are upright.

Active knee distance refers to the distance between the ankles of the feet and the inward force of the legs and knees together when standing upright, and the distance between the knees and the medial sides of the knees.

According to the size of the normal knee distance and the active knee distance,"O-Legs:"It is divided into degrees, degrees, degrees and degrees.

The normal knee distance is less than 3 cm, and the active knee distance is 0;

The normal knee distance is less than 3 cm, and the active knee distance is greater than 0;

Normally, the knee distance is between 3-5 cm;

Normal knee distance greater than 5 cm.

X-shaped legs: X-shaped legs refer to the gait of two knees touching each other when the two feet are standing together, and the heels are not close together, and the knees are fighting and touching each other when walking. When the feet are together, only the knees can touch, and there are gaps between the thighs and calves.

Causes of the formation of X-shaped legs:

The changes in the lower limbs during the growth period generally occur between the ages of four and six, such as the appearance of X-shaped legs after the age of four to five or six, which may be due to congenital inheritance or acquired due to poor sitting posture such as W-shaped sitting posture. There are three main reasons for the "X" shaped legs, one is rickets in children, one is congenital heredity, and a small part is because of chondrogenesis, trauma, fractures, etc. In this way, it will also cause pain when walking in the knee joint, and the movement of the joint will also be affected, which can easily lead to osteoknee arthritis.

It can be corrected by chiropractic manipulation without any damage and ***.

"O" legs and "X" legs are more common in early childhood.

When the distance between the knees is more than 3 cm when the legs are put together, it is called an "O" shaped leg.

When the knees are well together, but the distance between the ankle bones is more than 3 cm, it is called an "X" shaped leg.

Physiological O-shaped legs are formed from birth to about 2 years old, and X-shaped legs are generally formed from 3 years old to junior high school students. Many children have mild "O" legs and "X" legs. The lighter "O" leg and "X" leg will heal naturally with development, so there is no need for **.

In more serious cases, corrective instruments can be used at night. If the disease is severely deformed, surgery should be performed**.

There is an old saying: whether this person is beautiful or not depends on his legs! There are several recognized beauties, with good faces, absolute goddess fan, but the leg shape is not so perfect, which is somewhat regrettable.

For example, Lin Yuna in Girls' Generation. It's really beautiful, with delicate facial features, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

If the distance between the knees is less than 3 cm, it is mild. If it is mild, it can be improved by improving diet and paying attention to nutrition. In addition to supplementing vitamin D and ensuring calcium absorption, it is also necessary to make all aspects of nutrition balanced and provide a good foundation for calcium absorption.

If the distance between the knees is between 3 10 cm, it is moderate. If it is a moderate leg deformity, it is necessary to carry out ** intervention, using intramuscular injection of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3, while improving diet and nutrition, and paying more attention to outdoor exercise. If the distance between the knees is greater than 10 cm, it is severe.

If it is a severe leg deformity, in addition to vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 injections, pay attention to diet and nutrition, outdoor exercise, and regular check-ups until the development is basically finalized. If it is still not well corrected, surgical correction can be performed. However, doctors say that this type of O-shaped leg that needs to be corrected by surgery is very rare.

Unless the O-leg is severe enough to make the weight on the human leg abnormal, doctors do not advocate such surgery for aesthetic reasons.

Most friends with O-shaped legs do not have to worry about the inheritance of O-shaped legs. At the same time, don't blame your parents for your O-shaped legs. Because the inheritance of type O legs depends on the genes carried by the chromosomes, current genetic studies have proven that no gene affects type O legs except for a rare genetic disorder, achondroplasia, which can inherit severe type O legs.

Therefore, it can be concluded that more than 90% of O-shaped legs are acquired! It is recommended that parents should supplement their children with vitamin D under the guidance of a doctor while ensuring adequate milk when feeding their children.

In most cases, O-shaped legs are caused by acquired influences, while X-shaped legs are caused by the genetic inheritance of the parents and cannot be improved.

O-shaped legs and X-shaped legs are acquired bad habits of children slowly, not innate, to let children develop a good habit of using legs, you can avoid this leg shape.

Some are born, some are formed through a later period, and this type of leg is more Japanese than I don't know why.
