Condition: Idiopathic Toe-walking · Sponsor: University of Oxford
BACKGROUND: For children who walk on their tip toes, surgery is often done to lengthen their Achilles Tendon. However, there is little research to help children's surgeons choose which children with idiopathic toe walking should have surgery. METHODS: This research study will investigate how effective surgery to lengthen the Achilles Tendon is for children with idiopathic toe walking. It will explore if the children\'s quality of life, endurance, strength, range of movement or walking pattern improves after they have had surgery. This study is a pilot study with 20 participants. This means the results will be used to decide if a larger trial is needed.
