Predictive simulations identify potential neuromuscular contributors to idiopathic toe walking

The simulations provide insights into how a musculotendon contracture combined with altered neural control could contribute to idiopathic toe walking. Insights into these neuromuscular mechanisms could guide future computational and experimental studies to gain improved insight into the cause of idiopathic toe walking.
