Talipes calcaneovalgus - what does this mean
Talipes calcaneovalgus is a condition caused by an imbalance of the muscles and tendons in the ankle and foot, resulting in a rigid, fixed position of the foot in which the heel is turned inward and the forefoot is turned outward.
What happens during the disease - talipes calcaneovalgus
Talipes calcaneovalgus is a condition that affects the foot and ankle, causing the foot to be bent upwards and inwards. it is caused by a combination of muscle and ligament imbalance, as well as tightness in certain structures of the foot and ankle. this imbalance of muscles and ligaments can lead to an over-pulling of the achilles tendon, which causes the foot to be pulled up and inwards. this can also cause the heel bone to be pushed out of its normal position, resulting in the deformity.
Talipes calcaneovalgus - Prevention
Talipes calcaneovalgus can be prevented by avoiding activities that involve high impact on the feet, such as running or jumping, and by wearing supportive shoes that provide adequate cushioning and arch support. additionally, regular stretching of the calf muscles and achilles tendon can help to reduce the risk of developing talipes calcaneovalgus.
