What Causes Ankle Deformity And Difficulty In Walking Even With Braces?

Hello my 3 year old daughter has suffered from muscle tightness and toe walking. When she was born she didn t use the low part of her body though physical therapy at the age of 2 she started walking but she is a toe walker and very of balance. She also cries when anything touches her feet and when you get her out of bed for the morning has a hard time moving around. Now we have noticed that she has ankle deformity and large bone deformity and her knee are very close together. And she is very flat footed. She wears braces but she is still falling and her leg and ankles a still swollen in and out of the braces

Your history suggests that your baby may be a case of cerebral palsy.
Early diagnosis and physiotherapy are important.
AS she is 3 years old it is difficult attain 100% normal walking.
Still there is chance,consult physiotherapist and follow his advice.
