Talipes equinovarus - what does this mean
Talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) is a birth defect that occurs when the tendons and muscles in the foot are too tight, causing the foot to twist inwards and downwards. it is most commonly caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and can also be caused by an abnormality in the development of the fetus in the womb.
What happens during the disease - talipes equinovarus
Talipes equinovarus is a congenital deformity of the foot caused by an imbalance in the musculoskeletal development of the lower limb. this imbalance leads to an abnormal position of the heel, which causes the foot to be twisted inward and the toes to be pointed downward. this deformity is caused by a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition, intrauterine positioning, and maternal health conditions. in some cases, the deformity can be corrected with surgery, physical therapy, and/or orthotics.
