Purpose: To evaluate the effect of plantar flexor strengthening associated with conventional physiotherapy treatment in children with ITW. Methods:Thirty children,of both sexes diagnosed with ITW, aged between 5 and 11 years,will be recruited and randomized into two groups, namely: the control group (CG), who will undergo gait training, triceps surae (TS) muscle stretching, anterior tibial (AT)muscle strengthening, and motor sensory training,and intervention group (IG), who will undergo the same training as the CG and additionally, TS muscle strengthening. The intervention will be performed twice a week for eight weeks. The children will undergo a two-dimensional gait kinematic analysis, passive amplitude of dorsiflexion movement, isometric dynamometry of the AT and TS muscles, motor coordination, quality of life, and perception of the parents regarding the equinus gait at baseline and at the end of treatment. Quality of life will be reevaluated during a 24-week follow-up.
