Understanding Clubfoot/Talipes Equinovarus by Dr. Abhilipsa Priyadarshini
Clubfoot is a common congenital foot deformity that presents at birth, causing the foot to twist inwards. It can be unilateral or bilateral, characterized by small and weak calf muscles, a shorter affected leg, and a downward-pointing heel. Identifying babies with clubfoot involves observing these physical signs, although it is not painful.
Preventing clubfoot is challenging as the exact cause remains unknown. However, minimizing the risk can be achieved by avoiding smoking during pregnancy. For expert guidance and care, consult with Dr. Abhilipsa Priyadarshini, specializes in Neuromusculoskeletal Physiotherapy in Bangalore.
