Improper walking posture: the incorrect posture of using the forefoot to walk when learning to walk, and then walking for a long time will lead to the phenomenon of walking on tiptoes. 2. Ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy: The neurological function is impaired due to the lack of blood and oxygen in the brain during the neonatal period, causing the symptoms of unsteady gait and toe walking. 3. High muscle tone: due to the abnormal development of the central nervous system, the muscle tone of the lower limbs is elevated, resulting in toe walking. 4. Achilles tendonitis: due to excessive exercise or the role of external forces, can lead to the Achilles tendon of the heel to produce aseptic inflammation and cause heel swelling, pain, in order to alleviate the discomfort of walking heel pain, will cause walking on tiptoe.
