Does in-toeing gait affect a child's balance or coordination?

Asked 4 years ago

Hello, my daughter has an in-toeing gait and I'm curious if it's having an impact on her balance or coordination as I've noticed they seem to stumble more often than other children their age. Could her gait be causing this?

It is very unlikely that in-toeing will result in complications such as unsteady balance and coordination. This condition usually resolves on its own without complications. If in-toeing persists after the expected correctional age, you may see a doctor for further examination.
