A member asked:
I was wondering is backward walking normal for knock knees or bowlegs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: Not sure what is being asked here. Walking backward would of course not be normal of anybody. A person with knock knees or bowlegs, however, should be able to walk backwards. If you have significant gait problems and/or knee alignment issues, do see a physician for further evaluation.
