The early years play a crucial role in forming a child's biomechanics and movement patterns, which can influence their future gait. Years of incorrect movements can result in an unstable gait, and it is not normal for a child who is walking stably to keep falling.
Parents often attribute this to clumsiness or lack of coordination, but it could indicate an underlying concern. Various pediatric lower limb conditions, such as pronation issues, hypermobility, and neurological deficits affecting gait, can contribute to frequent falls.
It is essential to have children with such conditions managed, rehabilitated, and closely monitored by a pediatric podiatrist. Specialized supportive devices like pediatric Ankle Foot Orthotics (AFOs) can be used to manage the misaligned bone structure and encourage proper muscle function, guiding the growth of the child's foot and promoting ideal gait patterns.
Using interventions and devices to support healthy growth and development is nothing to be ashamed of. Regular follow-ups will ensure the device fits well, is comfortable, and suits the child's current biomechanical state. With timely interventions, parents can observe noticeable improvements in their child's condition.
When in doubt, consult a Paediatric Podiatrist to address any concerns regarding your child's developmental milestones.
