I was wondering if anyone can help me with any info re the above. My daughter's 4 year old nephew appears to have both and she is somewhat concerned as to whether or not she should say anything to the little lad's parents. As well as being very loose and almost floppy he tends to buckle at the ankle on one side if you walk quickly with him. He also dips very noticeably to one side when running. He complains a lot of sore/tired legs on walking but not when playing and is usually put in a buggy on major shopping trips. If you pick him up he tends to wrap his legs round your body much like a younger child. He is a very cossetted/babied little boy and granny still spoon feeds him and has been known to put a bib on him at times!This doesn't help in working out whether he genuinely has sore legs or just wants carried and babied. It doesnt alter the floppiness though.....no resistance to pressure when you put his shoes on. He also does a sort of crab like scuttle when playing on the floor with his legs out sideways from his hip joints.
Sorry if this is a bit rambling....it's just how it came to me. his parents seem oblivious to any issues and no diagnosis seems to have been made by a GP. Are my daughter and I being overly concerned??????
