Chan-Valgus-Valgus-The most common orthopedic disease of children.She often meets her in the first years of children's life, because she became clear after the baby began to master the independence.What to do if you find such a curvature, we will say in this article.
What is Valgus deformation
In fact, Valgus deformation and flat feet are different diseases of the lower limbs, but in children, people are often a combination of reduced feet, characteristic of flat feet and changing the position of the foot in oral load, typical of Valgus deformation, often observed.
The curvature of Valgus is such a deformation in which the child is vertically based mainly on the inside of the feet, and the fingers and heels are deployed in the outside.
Typically, the installation of the right leg is parallel, meaning that when you look at the standing legs behind, you can draw two vertical lines.In a child deformed with Valgus, these lines are refracted in the area of the ankle joint with an external deviation, determining the second name of pathological deformation X.
With flat feet, everything is much more complicated.All children from birth have a physiological flat feet, so it cannot be considered as a disease for 1-2 years.However, orthopedic doctors consider the problem comprehensively and deformed the diagnostic-flat-valgus that appears in the child medical records in the medical record.
It is rare, but Valgus curvature may be congenital.For some reasons, the lower limbs of the fetus in the womb began to develop abnormally.Such legs can be seen almost immediately after giving birth to the baby, and after 2-3 months, the diagnosis is often done quite reasonably.
A flat foot is not a sentence.With timely treatment, with a responsible and systematic approach to parents, the function of the foot in the case of mild pathology can be fully restored.It all depends on the degree of the disease.
Flat - Deforming Valgus of the foot - how to fix the error?
The installation of Valgus of the stop - an anomaly, is characterized by changes in feet deformation, found in both adults and children.
Deformation is a violation of the surface of the foot, when its middle part is moved down, and the fingers and heels are facing out.
The reason for the abnormal development of the feet lies in the weakness of the ligament, muscles and tendons, when the feet are attracted to them under the influence of stronger muscles.The result of this effect is the formation of a flat foot.
The plealgus deformation of the foot is basically the same flat foot, a very popular defect found in every fifteen resident of the planet.The disease is difficult to treat, and the treatment process is long and has problems.
Reasons for the development of pathology
In the process of evolution, our feet are formed in such a way to undertake and distribute the weight of the human body evenly.The role of the foot is to ensure the biggest depreciation while walking, running and jumping.
In addition, thanks to the unique anatomical structure of the foot, a person enters the upright position, without falling to the right - left, back and forth.The protruding tunnels of the foot are directed in two directions: horizontal and vertical.
Therefore, an adult has three points to support:
- element of large plus bone;
- Heel hill;
- Thursday plus bones.
The disease occurs in young women more often, because they wear high shoes.Visual, legs have such deformation like the word "X".At the same time, bones and fingers are directed in one direction (outside), and the middle of the foot is transferred.
Therefore, the development of deformation contributes:
- Weaknesses of the ligament apparatus;
- Connective tissue disease;
- Weight (with obesity, an additional load on the foot is created, leading to their deformation);
- Wearing high shoes is uncomfortable.
Pathological classification
Depending on the form of the curvature of the foot, the pathology may be three types:
- horizontal;
- vertical;
- Combine.
The vertical installation of the foot is the respect of the vertical arch of the foot.If there is simultaneously violating the gait;Pain while walking and touching, and changing deformation is even observed, we can talk about the vertical deformation of the foot.
Horizontal deformation is characterized by a specific foot type - it looks very flat.At the same time, the tendons of the fingers are stretched naturally, and the curvature has a hammer.Patients complain about pain when walking and violating gait.
The installation of the feet combines the signs of both horizontal and vertical abnormalities and is called horizontal and vertical foot.However, there is no different pain and inconvenience.
Deformation is classified as follows:
- Spasticity - arising after muscle cramps;
- Rachitic development is the result of D-ho-ho-typovitaminosis;
- Structure - abnormal arrangement of ice -melting bone;
- Paralytic - Consequences of polyautomatic inflammation;
- Hyper -C HOSEOLAL - Appeared as a result of the unsuccessful adjustment of the club;
- Statistics - with the development of scoliosis and posture disorders;
- Compensation - a defect in the development of the Achilles tendon, in which the bone is moved inside;
- Injury - development as a result of damage, bruises, dislocated and fractures;
Symptom
As mentioned above, the flat deform -Walgus develops in the background of the congenital flat foot.The symptoms of the disease depend on the part of the feet.
For example, equilibrium deformation due to changes or balanced foot.It may be the result of the pathology of fibers.The disease is characterized by paralysis of both legs and lower legs.
With the presence of a Viking collision, the symptoms will appear as follows:
- Bones may be inflamed, swollen and sick;
- The thumb sparks in, while the same fate is overcome by other fingers, they will also be deformed and bulge in the form of a hammer;
- Can not wear shoes or heels, and sometimes even comfortable;
- Very often, patients with such a pathological shoes are more sizes;
- The curvature of the thumb prevents the normal position of other fingers, they bend strange and also bend;
- Prolonged walking causes pain and heavy legs;
- There are corn and corn on the base.
Treatment of pathology
It should be said that Valgus's flat foot diagnosis is related to a very long and complicated treatment, taking a lot of time.It is important to diagnose the disease as soon as possible and start fully treatment.The time in this case works against the patient, because the timely treatment has been hoped for quickly removing the disease.
Valgus flatfoot treatment includes;
- Medical physical education, aiming to adjust the shape of the foot and enhance muscle;
- Physiotherapy procedures;
- Wearing orthopedic shoes, soles, supervisors;
- The use of orthopedics, breaking and other test readers;
- Regular massage of the lower limbs and the Lumbosacral region - Krytsovo - Gluteal location.
Paneallgate's footsteps in children
It should be immediately noted that all of the above mentioned an adult with the presence of this pathology, but in young children, everything is different.
Almost all children are born with flat feet, and clear why.In the end, their feet at that time did not experience the load and they took the first steps when they were placed on the feet.
Naturally, during this period, they set accurate feet, because they did not know how to walk.
Therefore, it is worth distinguishing the function of flattening the function of the foot of the foot and surgery.Making physiology is only a phase of orthopedic development of the lower limbs and is the standard.
With sufficient load (when walking on the surface is not flat), children's deformation is quickly adjusted.This usually happens by three years.In addition, up to three years on the child's base, there is a natural fat layer covering the feet.
You can only see it if you put the baby in socks.
The process of forming the feet is long, it takes several years.Therefore, talking about the foot is formed exactly the anatomy is not valid earlier than five years.However, all children are different, so this process is formed earlier and for someone later.
It depends on the number of children developed and physically healthy, whether it is deviated from the development of the skeletal muscle system, the violation of the endocrine and nervous system.
But, unfortunately, there are cases when flat feet become a clear disease.
In the risk group, children in the first year of life were diagnosed with violations in the development of the musculoskeletal system, reducing muscle tunes, and developmental retardation in psychological and obesity development.The consequences of such violations will be the incomplete deformation of the foot.
The deviation of the angle of the foot compared to the axis of children's orthopedic doctors is measured by the degree.In this case, the body weight of the body is unevenly distributed for the foot and experience a certain part of the largest load step.In this case, it is the inside of the foot, where the tunnel should be formed.Therefore, therapists call this disease -Valgus pathology.
Massage
Massage is the main treatment in complex therapy.It helps relax the skeletal - muscle system, improves blood circulation and trophic of the base's muscle movement.Children's legs are massaged in the following sequence:
- Right before the start of massage, the legs were stroking;
- The hips and knees are also treated with mild features;
- The muscles of the back surface with the surface pressure are kneaded;
- Muscle scrub;
- Perform the baby's feet with the palm of the hand;
- Perform the final strokes.
The overall massage also starts by caressing, increasing blood flow to the baby's limbs.The movements are made from heel to a Fossa Pooleal.In the massage process, the emphasis is placed in muscle relaxation, the baby does not need to be ground.
If in some areas, it is necessary to make some rubbing full of energy, then they should simultaneously light and full of energy.The rest are done with the tip of the finger.The main focus is stroking and trembling.
Medical physical education
Exercise exercises to treat flat foot are performed on a medicinal mat, which is required to have an uneven surface (relief).Conduct exercises on such a carpet, and there is a mechanical massage of the foot.Exercises suitable for children two or three years old.
Exercise on the carpet:
- withdraw from foot to foot, transfer body weight;
- Standing on one leg, other sliding movements along the carpet;
- By placing your hands on the waist, performing circular motions with the body on one or the other side;
- Put one leg in front of the other leg, then makeup on socks and lower the heel;
- Suspecting heels with one leg, and the other on the toes, and causing the feet to roll from the toes to the heel;
- Walk on the carpet based on the outer edge of the foot.
Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment for flat foot adjustment is extremely rare.The excessive tunnel of the foot is done by the Grace method.Defects are also repaired in adolescence, however, joint techniques are used, in which they perform a reservation in each stage of the bone to adjust the tunnel.
The most effective choice is a defect repair surgery in a 4-5 year old child with flat feet.At this age, the rapid recovery of ligaments and joints occurs, as well as bone repositioning for the best results.
Choose shoes
Equin-Valgus deformation of the foot is removed using the exact selected shoes.It is very important that the support from the bottom and side of the foot will be turned on.For treatment, orthopedic shoes are selected according to personal standards.It allows normal muscles and evenly distributed on the feet.Pediatrician is very beneficial from wearing special shoes:
- Reduce the load on the musculoskeletal system,
- The negative consequences of deformation are removed,
- Ordinary posture and gait are formed,
- Muscles and ligaments are growing correctly.
Consequence
If you do not find a flat foot in children during the future, there will be serious complications that can cause defects.First of all, an incorrect gait is created, as the result of the structure of the knee joint and the hip joints disturbed.After that, the spine was bent, pressed on the internal organs and did not allow them to operate normally.
Forecast and prevent
Early treatment allows you to completely escape from flat feet.In advanced cases, in adolescence, the child will show problems with the spine.
Such violations can be prevented by performing simple tools every day.Do not try to put the baby on your feet if it is less than 9 months old.It is worth avoiding the child's skeletal muscle system overload.
Actual advice
As statistics show, about 40% of children have a flat foot discovered annually in students' prevention exams.Most of them are girls.Such circulation ratio is due to the fact that the first stage of Valgus is often not noticed.
Prevention of flat foot is especially important in the school years, when the child is developing strongly.
The decision time is from 3 to 7 years: it is at this time, the shoes are well fixed to fix the foot and correspond to the size.
Do not buy expensive orthopedic shoes if the diagnosis has not been made or the doctor has not made such recommendations.In some cases, additional support for the foot can give the opposite results.
