I'm sure there are various reasons that kids don't like to walk. They just want to be carried or they're tired..... This morning, Amelia finally explained why she wants to be carried everywhere.
She said her leg hurts her. I said show me where---- She pointed to her foot, just below the ankle-
So of course I googled it....Looking up foot anatomy- that is right where peroneus brevis tendon hangs out & a majorly affected tendon in CMT.
When it comes to the pes cavus deformities & weak ankle--- this is where it begins...
Amelia is very clumsy. She even asks why she falls so much. Maybe it's time for ankle/foot orthotics?? She is turning 4 in October.
The top of the foot, the talus-navicular bone --- this bumped up bony spot---- this is one of the first things that I noticed changing on Amelia & Ellie's feet, along with the increasingly high arches. Another odd type thing I noticed was their heel seemed to be thickening.... This all started around 24 months old..
What age did your children's or your feet start exhibiting the classic CMT deformity?
