Restoring Heel-Toe Gait in an 18-Year-Old Female with Persistent Toe Walking
In this engaging and educational video, we follow the 7-month recovery journey of an 18-year-old female who underwent surgery to correct chronic toe walking. Despite being told she would eventually outgrow it, her toe walking persisted well past the age of 8, which is uncommon. After trying various conservative treatments, the decision was made to undergo surgery to restore her heel-toe step movement.
Witness her remarkable progress as she demonstrates improved passive and active range of motion at each stage of her recovery. This video highlights the importance of addressing chronic toe walking in a timely manner and showcases the positive impact of the surgery on her gait, quality of life, and pain relief. Note that the normalization of gait may occur at different rates for different patients.

I'm in my 60s and I've been a toe walker my entire life. It wasn't noticeable when I was wearing very high heels but it's noticeable now.

Will toe walking cause hammer toes or any toe deformitys?

@PediatricFootAnkle 7 месяцев назад

Toe walking can cause hammertoes and splaying of the foot. Chronic toe walking also puts abnormal stress on the bones and ligaments in the feet, knees, and lower back. The link below offers more information. Thanks for watching the video. pediatricfootankle.com/foot-conditions/toe-walking-pediatric-equinus/

Hi I’m about to go for surgery (for toe walking)and I have a question. Is there any complications or pain after the surgery?

@PediatricFootAnkle 6 месяцев назад

There are three different types of surgeries performed for toe walking. As long as the correct surgery was selected and you have an experieinced surgeon, then you should have the outcome you and your doctor discussed. Best wishes

I have a 13 year old toe walker. We just met w a surgeon regarding possibly getting this and he stated that she would need to wear AFO braces 23 hours a day for about 6 months after the surgery. Is this normal?

@PediatricFootAnkle 2 месяца назад

Thank you for watching our video. Every surgeon has their own protocols. In my practice, for the last ten years, my patients who receive this surgery are casted for 4 weeks, then in a boot for 2 weeks. Recovery is approximately 6 weeks per surgery. The second surgery is performed 10 weeks after the first one. I have never found AFO's needed after this surgery; the surgery is the correction. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our clinic. Link provided below. pediatricfootankle.com/

I'm a 17 year old boy and I walk on my toes. It's not as extreme as in the video. I think it might be the cause of my limp. Could achilles tendon stretches make it go away? I understand that I should probably consult a doctor, but is there a chance that that could fix it on its own?

@PediatricFootAnkle 2 месяца назад

Thank you for watching our video. Passive stretching of the achilles tendon, with a nightbrace, over a period of 6-12 months is effective when a child is very young. If the condition is chronic and untreated, some young adults will have tight ankles and contractures can develop. Muscle imbalances could mean decreased hip or core strength due to the different postural alignment. And yes, for a toe walker at 17, a consult with a podiatrist would make sense. The link below may be helpful to your parents in finding one where you live. www.apma.org/ If you or your parents have any questions, please feel free to contact our office directly.

Hi I’m a 17 year old boy who has been struggling with severe toe walking my entire life and I’ve been trying to fix it would you recommend immediate surgery I was told the process of recovery was long

@PediatricFootAnkle 4 месяца назад

Our recommendation would be a podiatry consult with a doctor that performs this surgery regularly. Perhaps you can speak to your parents about that. The link below may help you find a board certified podiatrist in your area. The surgery is performed one side at a time. Recovery is approximately six weeks per surgery. For our patients, the second surgery is done 10 weeks after the first. We have also provided a link to our practice, in case your parents would have any further questions (they can call, email or text) Thanks for watching our video. www.apma.org/Directory/FindAPodiatrist.cfm?navItemNumber=24199 pediatricfootankle.com/

I'm a 23 autistic male. I've been walking on my toes all my life. I'm trying to see if there's ways & methods I can take to correct it. I want to know the proper ways it can help me walk regular. What to do or can it be fix at all? I know toe walking is common in people with autism but could it be fixed.

@PediatricFootAnkle 23 дня назад

Yes, it can be resolved. Even if your toe walking began as neurological, by age 23, it is likely now structural. We have noted a link for finding a qualified provider if you choose to have the surgery. If you have a consult with a provider, verify that they do this type of surgery regularly. Also, our contact information is provided if you have any further questions. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching our video. www.apma.org/ pediatricfootankle.com/

@pr1yam314 11 месяцев назад

Quick question, is there a correlation between this and your ankle dorsiflexion ? Because when I stretch it I feel a burning pain in my Achilles and I’m unable to get my knee over my toe despite all the stretching I’ve tried

@PediatricFootAnkle 11 месяцев назад

It sounds like gastroc or soleus equinus or both. An evaluation with a podiatrist would be appropriate to address this. Thank you for watching our video and sharing your experience.
