Idiopathic<unk>  is always bilateral and has no orthopedic or neurological cause. It is diagnosed after if it continues past the age of three. In this condition, children are able to voluntarily walk with the typical heel-toe pattern, but prefer to walk on their tip<unk> s. In order for it to be considered idiopathic, the child's medical history should be clear of any neurological, orthopedic, or neuro-psychiatric conditions including other gait abnormalities. It is thought to be related to sensory processing challenges. Two classifications of idiopathic<unk>  have been established. The Alvarez's classification identifies the severity of the<unk>  based upon kinematics and ankle rockers. The Pomarino classification identifies the<unk>  according to the individual's specific characteristics and characterizes them into three types based on the signs presented. Cerebral palsy Studies have been performed to determine the source of the association between<unk>  and cerebral palsy. One study suggests that the<unk> —sometimes called an equinus gait—associated with cerebral palsy presents with an abnormally short medial and lateral gastrocnemius and soleus—the primary muscles involved in plantarflexion. A separate study found that the gait could be a compensatory movement due to weakened plantarflexion muscles. In people who have cerebral palsy and<unk>  walk, there is greater plantarflexion force required for normal heel-to-toe<unk>  than for<unk> . When typically developing children are tasked to perform different types of<unk> , their<unk>  could not reduce the force to the levels that children who<unk>  with cerebral palsy have when they walk. This suggests that<unk>  associated with cerebral palsy may be due to abnormally weakened plantarflexion that can only manage<unk> .
