Idiopathic Toe Walking and Contractures of the Triceps Surae

Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2010
Toe walking is a common feature in immature gait and is considered normal up to 3 years of age. As walking ability improves, initial contact is made with the heel. Toe-walkers will stand out as different once heel-strike is achieved by most of their peers. This difference gives rise to parental concern.

Simplified Approach to Idiopathic Toe-Walking

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2001
Controversy exists as to the treatment of idiopathic toe-walking (ITW). Since 1993, the authors have managed children with ITW using an outpatient percutaneous lengthening of the Achilles tendon, followed by placement of below-knee walking casts for 4 weeks.

Treatment for Idiopathic Toe-Walking

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2004
Thirteen skeletally mature subjects who had been treated as children for idiopathic toe-walking underwent gait analysis and calf muscle strength testing at an average of 10.8 years from the last intervention. Six had had serial casting only; seven had had either a percutaneous tendo Achilles lengthening or a Baker's gastroc-soleus lengthening. Sagittal

Is Idiopathic Toe Walking Really Idiopathic? The Motor Skills and Sensory Processing Abilities Associated With Idiopathic Toe Walking Gait

Journal of Child Neurology, 2013
This study aimed to investigate any differences between the motor skills and sensory processing abilities of children between the ages of 4 and 8, who do and do not have an idiopathic toe walking gait. Children in each cohort were tested with a number of norm referenced assessments. A total of 60 children participated, 30 within each cohort. Those with

Idiopathic Toe Walking: A Comparison of Treatment Methods

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1998
Eighty children with idiopathic toe walking (ITW) were examined 2-8 years (average, 34 months) after initial presentation to compare outcomes [passive ankle dorsiflexion (DF) and parental satisfaction] after three treatment modalities: observation, cast/brace treatment, or surgical triceps surae lengthening. Overall, 32% had a family history of ITW, 28%

Differentiation of Idiopathic Toe-Walking and Cerebral Palsy

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1988
Kinematic data were collected on two groups of children with diagnoses of idiopathic toe-walking and mild spastic diplegia. Although both groups lacked a heel strike at initial contact, two distinct gait patterns were found. The toe-walkers displayed a variable pattern of ankle motion with moderate to severe plantarflexion at stance. The cerebral palsy

Idiopathic Toe-Walking in Children and Adolescents

JBJS Reviews, 2022
» Idiopathic toe-walking is a diagnosis of exclusion.» The natural history of idiopathic toe-walking has not been studied in many children; we identified only 1 prospective study. Of children without equinus contractures who were toe-walking before the age of 5.5 years, 59% had spontaneous resolution of toe-walking by 5.5 ...

The Effects of Walking Surface on the Gait Pattern of Children With Idiopathic Toe Walking

Journal of Child Neurology, 2016
Idiopathic toe walking treatments are not conclusively effective. This study investigated the effects of walking surface on gait parameters in children with idiopathic toe walking. Fifteen children with idiopathic toe walking and 15 typically developing children aged 4 to 10 years completed the study, which included a barefoot gait exam over three 4-m ...

Reliability and Validity of the 50-ft Walk Test for Idiopathic Toe Walking

Pediatric Physical Therapy, 2017
Purpose: To evaluate interrater reliability and concurrent validity of the 50-ft walk test (FWT) for children with idiopathic toe walking (ITW). Methods: Thirty children, 6 to 13 years old, with ITW participated. During the 50-FWT, an accelerometer counted total steps.
