In general foot stretching exercises will be needed especially if there is
any sign that the foot is clubbing or bowing again. Gently and steadily
stretch the foot past its normal position in the opposite direction of the
deformity. You need to do this exercise two or more times a day, and
you need to check the foot regularly and return quickly to your doctor if
any signs of bowing is coming back.
Now how difficult it is to straighten a bow leg, how long it takes and
how long braces and special exercises will be needed depends on several
factors. In general a severely deformed foot with abnormal bones is
much harder to correct. Again abnormal muscle balance if present will
keep pulling the foot to the inside even after it is corrected.
Generally correction is more difficult if both feet are bowed and bow
legs in girls although less common are likely to be more difficult to
correct than in boys. If there are any other abnormalities like clubbed
hand or stiffness in the knees or elbows bow legs may be especially
difficult to correct and usually surgery is needed.
Now the older the child the harder it is corrects a bow leg since past the
age of two years it is often not possible without surgery. Children
without feeling in their feet require special precautions and slower
correction to avoid pressure sores. Again casts if used must not apply
much pressure and must be changed often. However if the Childs foot
shows little or no improvement then please visit bow legs no more.com.
What are the surgery free remedies for bow legs?
If your Childs feet shows little or no improvement after four weeks of
casting or if improvement stops in spite of continued casting then
surgery is probably needed for more complete correction. For some feet,
a plastic ankle brace might work well and for more difficult feet a metal
brace may be needed with an ankle strap that pulls the ankle inwards.
