Child toe walking: What’s we know about muscle morphology and development? The Scoping Review.
Abstract
We will conduct a literature review with the main objective of understanding the key findings related to toe walking in children. Our main research questions are: Here, the focus should be on the phenomenon: how does the muscle behave in the face of persistent toe walking? What adaptations occur in the muscle-tendon unit when toe walking persists? At what levels do these adaptations occur? Functional/structural/morphological?
