ABSTRACT

Idiopathic toe walking is a pathological gait pattern in which children walk on their tip toes with no orthopedic or neurological reason. McArdle disease is characterized by the inability to break down muscle glycogen. On the main characteristics of McArdle’s disease are low exercise tolerance, muscle cramps and fatigue, and the second wind phenomenon. In this case study reports a 10 year old boy diagnosed as Idiopathic toe walker, whom exhibit the physiological features of McArdle disease. The aim of this case study is to present some clinical features of McArdle disease, which can be use to elaborate a differential diagnostic between these two pathological conditions.
