Predictive simulations identify potential neuromuscular contributors to idiopathic toe walking. [PDF]

Clinical Biomechanics, 2023
BACKGROUND Most cases of toe walking in children are idiopathic. We used pathology-specific neuromusculoskeletal predictive simulations to identify potential underlying neural and muscular mechanisms contributing to idiopathic toe walking.

Dense & Attention Convolutional Neural Networks for Toe Walking Recognition [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a gait disorder where children’s initial contacts show limited or no heel touch during the gait cycle. Toe walking can lead to poor balance, increased risk of falling or tripping, leg pain, and stunted growth in ...

Two-point discrimination responses in children with idiopathic toe walking: A feasibility fMRI study [PDF]

Science Progress, 2022
Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a diagnosis given to children who walk with an absence or limitation of heel strike in the contact phase of the gait cycle, that are otherwise typically developing.

IncobotulinumtoxinA Injection for Treating Children with Idiopathic Toe Walking: A Retrospective Efficacy and Safety Study [PDF]

Toxins, 2022
There is no gold-standard treatment for idiopathic toe walking (ITW). Some previous evidence suggested that botulinum neurotoxin-A injection might improve ITW.

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 ...

Effects of wearing a foot orthosis on ankle function in children with idiopathic toe walking during gait [PDF]

Heliyon, 2022
Background: Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a gait deviation characterized by forefoot contact with the ground, possibly enhancing the risk of falling and causing Achilles’ tendon shortening and psychological discomfort. Between possible treatments, foot

Functional Bandaging in Children with Idiopathic Toe Walking [PDF]

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2021
BACKGROUND:Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a persistent gait pattern with no known etiology, which is characterized as premature heel-rise or no-heel contact. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of functional bandaging in children with ITW on heel-contact during stance phase and gait quality.

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 ...

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 ...

Pediatric toe-walking cohort with heterozygous SBF1 variants: A phenotypic description [PDF]

Global Medical Genetics
Purpose: Persistent toe walking is frequently labeled idiopathic; however, targeted genetic testing in selected cohorts can identify variants in genes implicated in neuromuscular disease.
