Sagittal Plane Kinematic Deviations and Spatio-Temporal Gait Characteristics in Children with Idiopathic Toe Walking: A Comparative Analysis Using Statistical Parametric Mapping by Rocio Pozuelo-Calvo, Almudena Serrano-Garcia, Yolanda Archilla-Bonilla, Angel Ruiz-Zafra, Manuel Noguera-Garcia, Kawtar Benghazi-Akhlaki, Miguel Membrilla-Mesa, Carla DiCaudo, Jose Heredia-Jimenez

“…<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Idiopathic Toe Walking (ITW) is a pediatric gait disorder characterized by persistent toe-to-heel ambulation in the absence of neurological, orthopedic, or developmental abnormalities. While spatio-temporal parameters often remain within normal ranges, subtle but clinically significant kinematic deviations may underlie compensatory mechanisms that sustain gait functionality. …”
