In-toeing and out-toeing

In-toeing and out-toeing happen when the feet are positioned too far inward or outward when walking. Both conditions may be seen in young
children as they are learning to walk.
By the age of two, most children outgrow these problems.
Beyond this age, verbal reminders and encouragement may be advised to make the child aware of the proper position of the foot.

In persistent cases, children may be required to wear modified functional orthotics, special shoes or foot supports to help train them to place their feet in the right position.

These interventions are designed to lessen abnormal pressures on the foot structure and function while still in their formative development.
