Sweet Valve Foot-Orthopedic Pathology of the most common children.She usually finds her in the early years of the child's life, because she becomes obvious after the baby begins to master independent walk.What to do if this curvature is found, we will count on this article.
What is Valgus deformation
In fact, the deformation of the valgus and the flat feet are different pathologies from the lower extremities, but in children it is more often than a combination of a decrease in the feet arc, characteristic of the flat feet and a change in the position of the foot on the load with an oral displacement, characteristic of valgus deformation, is more frequently observed.
Valgus curvature is a deformation in which the child in a vertical position is based mainly on the inside of the feet, and the fingers and heels are implanted outside.
Normally, the leg scenario should be parallel, ie when looking at two legs standing behind, you can mentally draw two straight vertical lines.In a child with valgus deformations, these lines are refracted in the ankle joint area with a deviation outside, which determines the second name of X-pathology deformation.
With boring feet, everything is much more complicated.All children since birth have a physiological flat foot, so it is impossible to consider this a pathology at 1-2 years.However, orthopedists consider the problem comprehensively, and a deformation of diagnosis-flat-válgus appears in the child's medical record in the medical record.
It's rare enough, but Valgus curvature may be innate.For some reason, the lower limbs of the fetus in the womb begin to develop abnormally.Such legs are visible almost immediately after the birth of the baby is born and, at 2-3 months, the diagnosis is usually made reasonably.
A plan from Walgus is not a sentence.With timely treatment, with a responsible and systematic approach of parents, the function of the foot in case of light pathology can be restored in full.It all depends on the degree of the disease.
Flat Deformation - Valgo of the feet - How to correct the defect?
Frying the installation of Parada Valgus - an orthopedic anomaly, which is characterized by foot deformation changes, which is found in adults and children.
Deformation is a violation of the surface of the foot when its middle part is moved and the fingers and heels are turned out.
The reason for the abnormal development of the foot lies in the weakness of ligaments, muscles and tendons, when foot is attracted to them under the influence of stronger muscles.The result of this effect is the formation of flat feet.
The deformation of the foot plans is essentially the same flat feet, a very common defect found in every tenth fifth resident of the planet.The disease is difficult to treat, and the process of treatment itself is long and problematic.
The reasons for the development of the pathology
During the evolution, our foot was formed in a way to assume and evenly distribute the weight of the human body.The role of the foot is to ensure the greatest depreciation while walking, running and jumping.
Also, thanks to the unique anatomical structure of the foot, a person enters a vertical position, without falling to the right - left, front and backwards.The protruding coffers of the feet are directed in two directions: transverse and longitudinal.
So an adult has three points as a support:
- Big and large bone element;
- Heel hillock;
- The fifth and bone.
The pathology occurs in young women with much more frequently, as they wear shoes with the high ton.Visually, the legs with such deformation resemble the letter "x".At the same time, the bone and fingers of the battery are directed in one direction (out), and the middle part of the foot is moved down.
Thus, the development of deformation contributes to:
- weakness of the ligament apparatus;
- Connective tissue diseases;
- Weight (with obesity, an additional load on the feet is created, which leads to its deformation);
- Wearing high uncomfortable shoes.
Pathology Classification
Depending on the form of curvature of the foot, the pathology can be of three types:
- transverse;
- longitudinal;
- Combined.
The longitudinal installation of the foot is the veneration of the longitudinal arc of the foot.If at the same time, there is a violation of march;Pain during walking and palpation, and deformation changes are observed even visually, we can talk about the longitudinal deformation of the foot.
Transverse deformation is characterized by a specific type of foot - it seems visually flat.At the same time, fingertips are not naturally stretched and curvature has a hammer.Patients complain of pain when walking and violating the march.
Combined foot installation combines signals from the transverse and longitudinal anomaly and is called longitudinal planes transversely.Nevertheless, there is no pain and several inconveniences.
Deformations are classified as follows:
- Espstico - arise after muscle cramps;
- Rachitic development as a result of d-hypovitaminosis;
- Structural arrangement - abnormal of the thawed bone;
- Paralytic - a consequence of polio;
- Hyper -Correctional - appear as a result of the unsuccessful correction of the club's foot;
- Statistics - with the development of scoliosis and posture disorders;
- Compensatory - a defect in the development of the Achilles tendon, in which bones are moved inside;
- Traumatic - develops as a result of damage, bruises, dislocations and fractures;
Symptoms
As mentioned above, Walgus's flat deformation develops at the bottom of the congenital planes.The symptoms of the disease depend on which part of the foot was subjected to curvature.
For example, equalized deformation develops due to a tricky or equine foot.It may be the result of fibula pathology.The disease is characterized by muscle paralysis of both feet and leg.
In the presence of a "bump", the symptoms will appear as follows:
- Bones may be inflamed, swell and become sick;
- The thumb shines inward, while the same destination is outdated by other fingers, they will also be deformed and protruded in the form of hammers;
- It is impossible to wear narrow shoes or heels, and sometimes even comfortable;
- Often patients with such pathology use shoes more sizes;
- The curvature of the thumb prevents the normal position of other fingers, they bend and also bend;
- The prolonged walk causes pain and weight on the legs;
- There are corns and grains in the sole.
Pathology Treatment
It should be said immediately that the diagnosis of Valgu's flat feet involves a very long and complex treatment that takes a long time.It is important to diagnose the disease as soon as possible and start proper treatment.The time in this case works against the patient, as the timely treatment has been hope for rapidly eliminating the disease.
Valgus Flatfoot's treatment includes;
- Medical Physical Education, which aims to correct the form of the foot and the strengthening of the muscles;
- Physiotherapeutic procedures;
- Wearing orthopedic shoes, insoles, supervisors;
- the use of orthopedic orthopedic, intervals and other reviewers;
- Regular massage of the lower ends and lumbosacral location - krytsovo -.
Planealgate Steps in Children
It should be noted immediately that all this refers to an adult with the presence of this pathology, but in young children everything is different.
Almost all children are born with boring feet, and it is clear why.After all, their feet at that time did not suffer loads and they just took their first steps when they are placed on their feet.
Of course, during this period, they put their legs incorrectly, because they don't know how to walk.
Therefore, it is worth distinguishing the functional flattening of the foot and anatomical safe.Physiological flattening is only an orthopedic development stage of the lower extremities and is the norm.
With sufficient loads (when walking on irregular surfaces), the child's deformation is quickly adjusted.This usually happens in three years.In addition, up to three years in the child's sole, there is a layer of natural fat that covers the arc of the foot.
You can see this just if you put the child in socks.
The process of forming the arc of the foot is long, it takes several years.Therefore, talking about the anatomically properly formed foot is not worth before five years.However, all children are different, so this process is formed earlier and for someone later.
It depends on how physically developed and healthy, if they have deviations from the development of the bone muscle system, violations of the endocrine and nervous system.
Unfortunately, however, there are cases where flat feet become an obvious pathology.
In the risk group, children who in the first year of life were diagnosed with violations in the development of the musculoskeletal system, a decrease in muscle tone, a delay in psychomotor development and obesity.The consequence of such violations will be flat of feet deformation.
The deviation of the angle of the feet of the axis line of children's orthopedists is measured in degrees.In this case, the body weight of the body is unevenly distributed to the legs and experiences a certain part of the foot of the largest load.In this case, it is the inner edge of the foot, where the longitudinal safe should form.Therefore, therapists call this plane -Valgus pathology.
Massage
Massage is the main method of treatment in complex therapy.It helps relax the muscle system - improve blood and trophic circulation of the sole muscle.The child's legs are massage in the following sequence:
- Immediately before massage began, the legs are caressing;
- The hips and knees are also treated with light movements;
- The posterior surface muscles with surface pressure are kneaded;
- Rub the muscles;
- Put by covering the child's legs with a palm;
- Perform the final blow.
General massage also begins with caressing, which increases blood flow to baby members.The movements are performed from heel to a popliteal fossa.During massage, the emphasis is placed in muscle relaxation, the baby does not need to grind.
If in some areas it is necessary to make various energy frictions, they should be at the same time light and energetic.Rinsers are performed with the fingertips.The main emphasis is on caressing and shaking.
Medical Physical Education
Gymnastics exercises to treat flat feet are performed on a medicinal rug, which should have an unequal (relief) surface.Performing exercises on a rug, at the same time, there is a mechanical massage of the feet.The exercises are suitable for two or three years old children.
Rug Exercises:
- removing from one leg to another, the transfer of body weight;
- Standing on one leg, other sliding movements along the carpet;
- Putting your hands on the belt, make circular movements with your body on either side;
- Put one leg in front of the other, then make up for the socks and lowering the heels;
- Place on the heel with one foot and the other on the foot at the same time make the foot rolled from the foot to the heel;
- Walking on the carpet depending on the outer edge of the foot.
Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment for boring feet correction purposes is extremely rare.The excesses of the foot safe are made according to the method of grace.The defect is also corrected in adolescence, however, the arthrodesis technique is used, in which they perform a phased repositioning of foot bones to correct the safe.
The most effective option is the surgical correction of a defect in a 4-5 year old with boring feet.At this age, there is a rapid restoration of ligaments and joints, as well as bone replacement provides the best result.
Shoe selection
Equin-Valgus deformation of the feet is eliminated using correctly selected shoes.It is very important that the support of the bottom and side of the foot is disclosed.For treatment, orthopedic shoes are selected by individual standards.It allows the muscles to function normally and evenly the load on the feet.Pediatricians are highly beneficial to wear special shoes:
- lowering the load in the musculoskeletal system,
- The negative consequence of deformation is eliminated,
- Normal posture and march are formed,
- Muscles and ligament appliances are developing correctly.
Consequences
If you do not find a flat valve foot on the child in time, in the future there will be serious complications that can cause disability.First of all, an incorrect march is produced as a result of which the knee and hip joint structure is disturbed.Then the spine is curved, which presses the internal organs and does not allow them to work normally.
Prediction and prevention
Early treatment allows you to completely get free from the flat valve foot.In advanced cases, in adolescence, the child will show problems with the spine.
It is possible to avoid this violation, performing simple gymnastics every day.Do not try to put the baby on the feet if he is less than 9 months old.It is worth avoiding overloading the child's musculoskeletal system.
Practical Advice
As statistics show, about 40% of children with a degree of flat feet are detected annually during preventive examinations of school -age children.Most of them are girls.This prevalence is due to the fact that the early stages of Valgus usually go unnoticed.
Flat -foot prevention is especially important in school years when the child is growing intensely.
The decisive period is 3 to 7 years: this is where the shoes are well fixed to fix the leg and corresponds to the size.
Do not buy expensive orthopedic shoes if the diagnosis has not yet been made or the doctor has not given this recommendation.In some cases, additional foot support may give the opposite result.
