Is percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening safe and effective for older children with idiopathic toe walking? [PDF]

Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America
: Background: Treatment of older patients with idiopathic toe walking (ITW) can be challenging. Percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening (pTAL) restores a normal gait pattern for younger children with ITW, but outcomes for older children are unclear ...

Persistent toe walking as a prominent feature in pediatric PMP22- Related neuropathies: A retrospective cohort study [PDF]

Global Medical Genetics
Purpose: Persistent toe walking in children is often considered idiopathic; however, increasing evidence suggests that alterations in the PMP22 gene—implicated in Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 1 A (CMT1A) and Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to ...

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

J Pediatr Rehabil Med
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. There is no consensus for duration of serial casting.

McArdle's disease: A differential diagnosis of idiopathic toe walking. [PDF]

J Orthop, 2018
Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a pathological gait pattern in which children walk on their tip toes with no orthopedic or neurological reason. Physiological characteristics of the gastrocnemius muscles, the Achilles tendon, and the foot of toe walkers differ from subjects with a plantigrade walking pattern.

The effects of weight-bearing manipulations on gait and its underlying neural control mechanisms in toe walking children [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
IntroductionIn toe walking children, impaired maturation of neuromotor control often leads to persistent use of immature motor programs. Understanding the underlying etiology of toe walking in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and idiopathic toe walking (
