Neurological reasons

One of the reasons for toe walking is neurological conditions. Disorders such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and autism spectrum disorder can affect the muscles and nerves that control walking, leading to toe walking. These conditions can cause hypertonia or increased muscle tone, making it difficult for individuals to walk with their heels touching the ground. In some cases, the neurological condition may also affect balance and coordination, further contributing to toe walking.
