First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two treatments for children who walk on their toes (idiopathic toe walking): casting (non-surgical) and surgery. Researchers measured walking patterns, muscle function, and daily function in 65 children aged 6-18. They also searched for genes that might be linked to the condition. The goal was to find which treatment works best and understand the genetic causes.
