Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Toe walking at least 50% of the time, participation in a NGS-test of 49 genes, written consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Underlying acquired or congenital pathologies (e.g. cerebral palsy, tethered cord syndromes), complications before, during or immediately after birth, in the case of changes in the monosynaptic reflexes, a pronounced muscle weakness of the triceps surae muscle or asymmetry as an indication of an underlying neurological disease and subsequent positive diagnosis in the specialist field of neurology or neuropaediatrics, as well as in the case of severe orthopaedic malformations.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The aim of the study is to find out if: 1. there are patients who have been diagnosed as "idiopathic toe walkers" but show pathogenic variants in an NGS-Panel examination to exclude neuropathies/myopathies; 2. there are gene variants of unclear significance that occur disproportionately often in toe walkers. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are the detection of possible areas for more complex future research into the possible significance of future research projects and to postulate an improved diagnostic process for the possible causes of toe walking in children with no clear indication for an underlying neurological or orthopedic cause. | — |
