The natural history of the tibial femoral angle is one of considerable genu varum or bowing at birth, approximately 15 degrees. There is gradual spontaneous correction to zero degrees at one and one-half to two years of age. During the next year, a valgus of 10 degrees to 12 degrees develops which gradually corrects to the normal adult value of 5 to 6 degrees valgus at about age seven years. This process is identical in boys and girls.Diagnosis
Clinical diagnosis and x-rays are not required. Observation of child walking:
Knee caps point forward
Femur external
Tibial internal rotation cancels femur rotation
Foot points inward (due to tibial rotation)
Measuring degree of genu varum:
Child stands with medial malleoli touching
Measure distance between medial femoral condyles

My husband was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) four years ago. For over two years, we relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, his symptoms continued to worsen. His memory,coordination, and overall strength declined, and everyday life became increasingly difficult.Last year, out of desperation and hope, we decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, we were skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, we began to notice real changes. His alertness improved, his movements became steadier, and he regained a surprising amount of energy and clarity.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly, he also regained much of his independence and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience he feels more like himself again, better than he had in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with CJD, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
