Question
A 5-year-old girl has been walking with an inward gait recently, and this has been going on for 5 to 6 days. However, there were no abnormal situations in the past.
Answer
An inward gait in a 5-year-old girl while walking is usually a common phenomenon during the early stages of learning to walk, with varying degrees. This condition is often physiological and improves as the child masters walking skills. However, if the inward gait is not physiological, it is recommended to take the girl to a pediatric orthopedic department in the hospital for a detailed examination to determine the cause.
