A member asked:

5 yo still walk with toes out. eval by ortho year ago. said he would outgrow it. read cause could be weak legs, core. anything that might help this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hip flexibility: The most common reason your child would walk the way you have described is from increased hip flexibility. It is very common in kids who sit with their knees bent forming a "w" position with their legs. This position prevents tightening of hip ligaments by age 3 yrs old. As long as your child doesn't have frequent tripping or falling with walking/running, there is no cause for concern.
