Equinus Deformity
Dynamic Evaluation of Ankle Joint and Muscle Mechanics in Children With Spastic Equinus Deformity Due to Cerebral Palsy
This research will lead to the first evaluation of intrinsic and dynamic joint and muscle mechanics of equinus in cerebral palsy. It would provide a direct cause and effect relationship between equinus and bone deformity.

Idiopathic Toe Walking, Cerebral Palsy
The Effect of Targeting the Plantaris Muscle-tendon in Surgical Correction of Ankle Equinus in Children
Tight ankle muscles can produce ankle equinus (limited ability to pull the foot upward) and occur often in children, significantly impacting their ability to walk.
