Nappy rash pathway for professionals

Metatarsus Adductus is a common foot condition in babies and young children that may affect one or both feet.
In Metatarsus Adductus, the front half of the foot, or forefoot, is curved inwards.
The condition is thought to be related to the position of the baby in the mother’s uterus.

Advice for professionals

Positional talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) is a very common foot condition in new-born babies that may affect one or both feet.
In positional talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) the foot rests inwards and downwards but remains flexible. The foot can therefore be gently moved through a full and normal range of movement.
In-turned feet can be an entirely normal resting position for new-born babies. More persistent in-turning is thought to be caused by the baby’s position while in the mother’s uterus.
It is normal for a new-born baby’s legs to be slightly bowed, which can add to the appearance of the feet turning inwards.
