Altered Muscle Contributions are Required to Support the Stance Limb During Voluntary Toe-Walking [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Toe-walking characterizes several neuromuscular conditions and is associated with a reduction in gait stability and efficiency, as well as in life quality. The optimal choice of treatment depends on a correct understanding of the underlying pathology and
