Some children with idiopathic toe walking display sensory processing difficulties but not all: A systematic review [PDF]
Acta paediatrica, 2023 Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a diagnosis for children who toe walk without another diagnosis known to cause toe walking. Recent research has suggested that children with ITW may have mild motor planning challenges and sensory processing differences ...

Foot Contact Dynamics and Fall Risk among Children Diagnosed with Idiopathic Toe Walking
Applied Sciences, 2021 Children that are diagnosed with Idiopathic Toe walking (cITW) are characterized by persistent toe-to-toe contacts. The objective of this study was to explore whether typical foot contact dynamics during walking predisposes cITW to a higher risk of ...

Predictive simulations identify potential neuromuscular contributors to idiopathic toe walking
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.

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

NGS-Panel Diagnosis Developed for the Differential Diagnosis of Idiopathic Toe Walking and Its Application for the Investigation of Possible Genetic Causes for the Gait Anomaly [PDF]
Global Medical Genetics, 2023 Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) describes a condition affecting approximately 4.5% of children. Toe walking is an accompanying symptom for many hereditary disorders. This retrospective study uses next-generation sequencing-panel-diagnosis to investigate the

Toe Walking as the Initial Symptom of a Spinocerebellar Ataxia 13 in a Patient Presenting with a Mutation in the KCNC3 Gene [PDF]
Global Medical Genetics, 2022 This article at hand described a 4-year-old child patient who initially presented with the symptoms of toe walking. As part of the diagnostic process, the patient was genetically tested to find the cause of the gait anomaly.

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 ...
