Efficacy of serial casting protocols in idiopathic toe-walking [PDF]

Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine
OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic toe-walking (ITW) is a diagnosis of exclusion. A relationship between ITW and decreased range of motion (ROM) is postulated. Treatments focus on increasing ankle dorsiflexion including serial casting.

Children With Idiopathic Toe Walking Display Different Cortical Activation Patterns When Interpreting Tactile Sensation. [PDF]

Dev Psychobiol
ABSTRACT Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a diagnosis given to children who walk with an absence of heel strike in the contact phase of the gait cycle, who are otherwise typically developing. This study aimed to determine if children with ITW had cortical activation differences when completing a tactile sensation test compared to typically developing ...

Idiopathic toe walking and sensory processing dysfunction [PDF]

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2010
Background It is generally understood that toe walking involves the absence or limitation of heel strike in the contact phase of the gait cycle. Toe walking has been identified as a symptom of disease processes, trauma and/or neurogenic influences.
