PY - 2013 T2 - Diagnosis for Physical Therapists: A Symptom-Based Approach AB - Toe walking in the pediatric population is a developmental trait that is normal but can be considered pathological if it (1) persists beyond a certain age, (2) presents with a sudden onset, or (3) worsens over time. Toe walking is common in new walkers, and a child who normally walks with a heel-toe pattern may regress to toe walking in order to find greater stability when faced with a more challenging task such as carrying a large object while walking. This chapter describes possible causes of toe walking in a child. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1184029185 ER -
