3. Knock Knees (Genu Valgum)
With this condition, “knees touch or are very close together while the ankles stay apart.” Common in children, it usually self-corrects. In adults, it may signal joint weakness or flat feet and can lead to “pain, instability, and arthritis” if left untreated.
4. Crossed Legs (Severe Knock Knees or Pelvic Tilt)
Legs cross excessively, suggesting “severe inward rotation or postural imbalance.” This may be due to pelvic misalignment or extreme knock knees, affecting “hip stability, gait, and pelvic floor health.” Treatment may involve posture correction or medical therapy.
5. Final Notes
These leg types “do not reflect anything about someone’s character, worth, or private anatomy.” If you feel pain, stiffness, or walking issues, see a physiotherapist or orthopedic expert. “Exercises, stretches, and corrective footwear can often improve alignment or reduce discomfort.”
