Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There remains a substantial lack of evidence to support the use of foot orthoses as a conservative treatment option for idiopathic toe walking (ITW). Encouraging heel contact during gait is one of the primary goals of most interventions in paediatric ITW. RESEARCH QUESTION:Does the combined treatment of high-top boots and orthoses increase the number of heel contacts during gait and change spatio-temporal gait parameters? METHODS:This within subject designed randomised controlled trial recruited fifteen children diagnosed with ITW (n = 10 males). They were fitted with bilateral custom made rigid contoured carbon fibre foot orthoses placed inside high-top boots. To analyze the effect of this treatment, heel contacts and spatio-temporal parameters measured by an 8.3 m Gaitrite® mat were compared to barefoot walking and shod walking. RESULTS:An immediate increase in heel contact (p = 0.021) was observed in the combined treatment only. Gait changes included a large increase in stride time in the combined treatment condition compared to barefoot walking (p = 0.006). This was associated with a decrease in the percentage of swing phase in the gait cycle (p < 0.010), an increase in stance phase (p < 0.010) and an increase in double support time (p < 0.001). SIGNIFICANCE:These results suggest the hardness and thickness of the shoe and stiffness of the orthosis midsole may lead to improved local dynamic stability and foot position awareness with increased sensory feedback provided through the entire length of the foot. Further research is indicated to validate this treatment option on long term outcomes in this population group.

abstract::For negotiating a step down during gait, as in stepping from a curb, two different strategies can be used, i.e. heel landing and toe landing. Toe landing allows more negative work by the leading leg to reduce the momentum gained during the descent, which facilitates maintaining stability but reduces walking velocity. ...
