What Makes The Child To Twist The Ankle And Place The Feet Slanting?
Hello, I have a 15 month old baby who just started walking a few days ago. I noticed that when she is walking her ankles are turning inwards. When I was observing other children today it was very noticeable that she is not putting her feed straight. Should I be looking at orthotics for my child. Thank you.
