摘要: Serial casting to stretch the plantar-flexors has been advocated for idiopathic toe-walkers (ITW) and children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP), although outcomes have not well studied. Neuromuscular function gait were examined in eight CP (mean age, 7.1 years) ITW 7.5 casted 3 6 weeks. Baseline comparisons indicated that produced lower isometric plantar-flexor torques (p 0.05). yielded positive may be longer lasting ITW.
