O-shaped leg is one of the common problems in children. How to treat children’s O-shaped legs? Is the use of orthotic insoles effective?
Insoles alone may not be sufficient to correct O-shaped legs (also known as genu varum) in children. O-shaped legs are a common physiological variation during early childhood and typically resolve naturally as the child grows older.
In some cases, if O-shaped legs are associated with an underlying condition or if there is a significant deformity, additional interventions may be recommended. These interventions could include exercises, physical therapy, bracing, or, in rare cases, surgery. The appropriate treatment will depend on the individual child’s age, severity of the condition, and underlying causes.
While insoles may not correct O-shaped legs on their own, they can sometimes provide support and alignment assistance. Insoles with proper arch support and cushioning can help promote better foot and leg alignment, reduce excessive pronation, and alleviate discomfort that may be associated with O-shaped legs.
