Equinus Deformity, specifically associated with toe walking, is a condition marked by restricted upward movement of the ankle joint, leading individuals to predominantly walk on their toes.

This deformity can be categorized into recognized types:

  • Structural Equinus: Involves anatomical changes in bone structure or soft tissues, restricting normal ankle dorsiflexion.
  • Functional Equinus: Results from tightness in the calf muscles or Achilles tendon, limiting ankle movement.
  • Manifestations include difficulty placing the heel on the ground, walking on tiptoes, and potential balance issues. The impact varies, influenced by factors such as the underlying cause and treatment effectiveness.

    Equinus Deformity and Toe Walking can be congenital or acquired, involving factors like muscle imbalances, neurological conditions, or tightness. Diagnosis typically includes a physical examination and may incorporate imaging studies like X-rays.

    The goal of treatment is to enhance ankle flexibility and address the underlying cause. Interventions may include stretching exercises, physical therapy, orthotic devices, and, when necessary, surgical procedures to lengthen the Achilles tendon.

    Continuous research in the field focuses on refining treatment methods, comprehending diverse causes, and enhancing outcomes for individuals affected by this condition.
