Scientists search for genetic clues behind toe walking in kids

NCT ID NCT06305689

Summary

This study aimed to find the best way to treat children who persistently walk on their toes for no known medical reason. Researchers compared two common treatments—serial leg casting and surgery—to see which worked better. They also looked at the children's DNA to see if a genetic cause could be found for the condition.
