[Toe walker].
Toe walking is a frequent situation for a clinic in pediatric orthopedic. It is, in most cases, an idiopathic trouble. Neurologic examination is very important to recognize spastic diplegia or neuromuscular disease. A contracture of the triceps can occur and will require a specific treatment from physiotherapy to surgery. A psychological approach is sometimes necessary.
