“O-Type Legs”

O-TYPE LEGS HOW MURDER FIGURE!

Standard legs, feet close together when upright, double knee, thigh, mid-calf, there are three points of contact, and the upper and lower knee and ankle position, with three diamond-shaped slit. This combined with Zhang curve of the lower limbs, reveals a exquisite beauty. As shown in Figure, O-type legs are not bent leg, but the lower leg and the knee angle is not normal femur, knee rotation a certain angle, it is hip width, leg bent particular. Medically known as “varus.” Because of this unusual angle, legs curve outward, lower limb contour relocation had to be knee adduction arc disappear, become outward expansion curve inevitably gives a sense of the lower limbs bloated. The huge gap between the legs, visually very ugly, but also lost the exquisite and elegant beauty. When walking, it is not easy to maintain a balance, easy swing, duck formation step, ugly gait. Leg deformity not only affect the body and fitness, human health Also damage. Thus also a huge psychological pressure.

O-TYPE LEGS, AND WHY?

Walking, splayed feet, ease posture standing, long-term wear high heels, sit cross-legged, kneel, squat, etc., will give the knee outward force, and this force will stretch the knee lateral collateral ligament. So long, it will lead to the lateral collateral ligament knee laxity. Knee lateral collateral ligament of the knee is stable within the structure of the outer angle. When the case of the lateral collateral ligament laxity of the medial collateral ligament larger force will be pulled inward rotation of the lower leg bone, forming a varus, the O-type legs. Part due to the imbalance of O-type legs, accompanied by hip abduction shift will result in particularly large gap between the legs! Due to knee varus, excessive body weight will focus on the joint surface of the medial. Excessive pressure and friction can cause medial knee cartilage wear and tear, collapse tibial plateau, secondary osteoarthritis. To older, prone to joint pain, affecting the normal walking activities.
