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

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

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

A comparative phenotypic analysis of a heterogeneous PMP22 cohort presenting with persistent toe-walking versus classic PMP22-related Neuropathies [PDF]
Background: The Peripheral Myelin Protein 22 (PMP22) gene plays a central role in peripheral nerve myelination, and dosage alterations (deletion, duplication, or point mutation) are established causes of hereditary neuropathies such as Charcot–Marie ...
