Question
A one-year-old baby is experiencing persistent symptoms of foot supination, despite having already seen a doctor. Is the baby’s shoe size appropriate? Are the insoles effective? Parents are worried and unsure whether they should continue using insoles or seek other treatment methods.
Answer
In such cases, it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialized orthopedic hospital and rehabilitation department for further correction. The younger the child, the better the treatment outcome usually is, so there is no need to worry too much. Parents should actively cooperate with the treatment and undergo rehabilitation training, which is often effective within a year. If the situation does not improve despite continuous correction, it may be necessary to consider changing the treatment method. It is worth noting that as children grow older, the effectiveness of correction may decrease.
