Abstract

A 13-year-old girl presented with a 4-year history of abnormal gait. At age 9, her parents noticed that she would run awkwardly "on the balls of her feet" and subsequently, that the rhythm of her running would break down with sustained exercise. There was no diurnal variation in her symptoms. There was no history of perinatal insults and early development was normal. There was no significant medical or psychiatric comorbidity and her family history was unremarkable. Examination of the patient's gait is demonstrated in video 1 at Neurology.org.
