Evaluation and management of in-toe gait in the neurologically intact child.
A review of the nature, cause, natural history, and measurement of torsional problems of the lower extremity has been presented. A focused discussion of the often ignored consequences of residual torsions and the compensations for them when they are present has been included. Finally, current thought on management principles and techniques has been reviewed.
