What Causes Twisting Of Feet Inward In A Child?
My daughter just turned one and is having difficulty walking; it appears her ankles/feet turn inwards when attempting to walk which is causing her to fall to the floor; her cruising is minimal and is very unsteady when attempting to cruise. She crawls, stands, stops, etc all normally. It s just when she attempts to walk that it becomes difficult

Hi...by what you quote I feel that she might be having a flat foot. Flat foot can be physiological till 2 year of age. But as you say her cruising had been minimal and she's twisting her ankles... I suggest you consult a pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
