  Feedback
1 Common knee deviations in children include genu valgum (knock-knees) and genu varum (bowlegs). These deviations are considered normal for a child age 2 to 3 years and may persist until age 7 years.
2 Common knee deviations in children include genu valgum (knock-knees) and genu varum (bowlegs). These deviations are considered normal for a child age 2 to 3 years and may persist until age 7 years.
3 Scoliosis would not be considered a normal finding.
4 Toddlers often have potbellies and lordosis. This posture is normal and helps them adjust to the change in the center of gravity. It should disappear as the child grows.
