Association between Toe Pressure Strength in the Standing Position and Maximum Walking Speed in Older Adults [PDF]
Annals of Geriatric Medicine and Research, 2023 Background Considering concerns about conventional toe grip strength, we devised a method to measure toe pressure strength in the standing position, which is close to the actual motion. This study examined the association between toe pressure strength in

Dense & Attention Convolutional Neural Networks for Toe Walking Recognition
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 ...

The “Toe Walking Tool”: a novel method of assessing toe walking children [PDF]
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2011 Background Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) can present in children above the age of three, and occurs in the absence of any medically diagnosed conditions. Identification of medical conditions that are associated with toe walking can be complex and a potentially daunting task for those that infrequently assess children.

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