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 ...

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.

Clinical and regional distribution of TTN variants in toe walking: A descriptive cohort study [PDF]

Global Medical Genetics
Background: The TTN gene encodes titin, a key structural protein of the sarcomere. Variants in TTN are frequently identified in genetic testing, but their clinical interpretation remains challenging due to their high prevalence in the general population ...

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 ...
