Musculoskeletal mechanisms of paediatric idiopathic toe-walking [PDF]
, 2021 Children who idiopathically toe-walk (ITW) walk in equinus with no known pathological, neurological, or orthopaedic cause. Therefore, they are a particularly challenging population for clinicians, as persistent, untreated equinus can lead to secondary problems, such as a worsening of symptoms, fixed deformity, and fixed contracture.
