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

Toe walking: A regional analysis of TTN variants between c.10,000 and c.99,999 in a cohort of children [PDF]
Global Medical GeneticsBackground: Persistent toe walking is traditionally considered idiopathic when no neurological or orthopedic cause is identified. Emerging evidence suggests genetic contributors, including TTN, but genotype–phenotype relationships remain poorly ...
