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.

Toe-walking and its impact on first and second rocker in gait patterns with different degrees of artificially emulated soleus and gastrocnemius contracture.

Gait & Posture, 2023
BACKGROUND Toe-walking is one of the most common gait deviations (due to soleus and/or gastrocnemius muscle contractures), compromising the first (heel rocker) and second (ankle rocker) of the foot during walking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the
