How to distinguish your leg shape, more and more people because of poor lifestyle cause their leg shape change, the first is really very ugly, the second will affect our physical and mental health. Therefore, distinguishing the normal leg shape is a very important basic knowledge. Below, let’s discuss what the normal leg shape is. I hope everyone understands.

In addition to normal, there are O-type, X-type, and OX-type.

1. O-type

Medically known as genu valgum, it is a deformity when the lower limbs are naturally straight or standing, the ankles can touch each other, but the knees cannot align.

The lack of calcium and genetic inheritance are the two basic causes of O-shaped legs, but the more immediate cause still depends on gait, sitting posture, sitting posture, and some sports. Walking with feet turned out, standing with a break posture, wearing high heels for a long time, sitting with legs crossed, kneeling, horse stance, and other such actions will give the knee cap an outward force, and this force will stretch the lateral tendons on both sides of the knee cap. If this continues for a long time, it will cause the lateral ligaments of the knee cap to become loose.

2. X-type

The leg X-type is also known as genu varum, which can be caused by more than 40 different diseases, but more than 70% of genu varum is caused by rickets. The definition of an X-shaped leg is: when the two lower limbs are naturally straight or standing, the two knees can touch each other, but the two ankles cannot align, which is a畸形 disease.

It is caused by congenital genetic inheritance, malnutrition in later life, and incorrect sitting and walking posture during the child stage, leading to an abnormal condition of bone and joint disease, such as internal and internal rotation of the femoral head and external and external rotation of the ankle joint bone.

3. OX-type

It is generally caused by abnormal gait, with the ankle joint (a bone inside the calf) having an outward tilt at the knee joint and a slight foot varus in the knee joint. Therefore, it looks like the knee cap is straight, but the entire calf shows an O-shaped condition.
