Often happens that the insignificant defect of the musculoskeletal device of the child develops into a serious problem – a clubfoot. At first sight, the lovely clumsy gait of the baby reminding a bear cub actually conceals in itself a set of negative consequences for health of the kid. To correct incorrectly put foot, having avoided thereby serious problems with health in the future, antivarusny orthopedic footwear is called.
This footwear received the name from the disease of the same name "варус" or as tell "kosolapy" in the people. It is that feet of the person are turned by socks to each other, and foot is bent and sinks down inside. Fortunately, skeletal system of the child is formed for several years, and therefore it is possible to correct the correct position of a leg at the earliest stage of this disease. For this purpose orthopedic surgeons appoint to the patients specific treatment in the form of wearing special orthopedic footwear.
Value of antivarusny footwear
Such footwear does not allow the child "to be filled up" on inside of foot and kind of parts socks from each other. It turns out that the child leans on three main points: a heel, the outer side of foot and inside of foot, that is on the total area of a sole. An opportunity to bend a leg and to put in the wrong position is completely excluded.
The value of such footwear is invaluable. First, antivarusny footwear allows to distribute correctly load of not created children's leg. It so accurately fixes a heel and a sock that the leg in such footwear does not dangle, and it is reliable, and the main thing, is correctly turned. The child steps on foot and presses on it all over. And provided that loading is distributed on all foot, at him the back is not tired, and after long loading legs do not hurt. All thanks to the fact that blood in the lower extremities begins to function correctly. To the child such situation does not bring any discomfort.
As it is correct to choose antivarusny footwear
Many parents, having heard the diagnosis of the orthopedist, do not hurry in shop behind medical footwear. It seems to them that such disease can pass in itself. Someone is frightened, of course, by not the children's price of such acquisition. But health of the child is invaluable, and everyone has to understand it. For prevention and treatment of a clubfoot not to do without antivarusny footwear. Selecting the kid antivarusny footwear, it is worth knowing that it differs from other orthopedic footwear a little. One of such differences is the lack of an instep support. For treatment of a clubfoot this detail is contraindicated whereas for elimination, for example, of flat-footedness, the instep support is necessary. It is important that footwear (sandals or boots) well fixed a leg, it did not allow it to move and be bent. And therefore about any "boots for growth" out of the question. Footwear has to be precisely by the size: neither it is more, nor it is less. Otherwise the sense from treatment will not be any. Further heel. The heel in such footwear has to be deepened, thanks to special dredging, a cup. A back part of a leg keeps vertically. The real antivarusny footwear has to be always equipped with high adjustable fasteners or lacings. And also to possess a high back which will not allow a heel to move and reliably will record it as it has to be. And finally: antivarusny footwear works wonders with a children's leg only during the preschool period when bones are just formed, and sheaves are rather elastic.
