Abstract
Using extensive database and manual literature reviews, 3 relevant studies were identified that assessed CIPN-related gait changes in children. Though each study used different methods to analyze gait patterns, decreased ankle dorsiflexion with slower and shorter gait were common findings across the studies. Changes to ankle dorsiflexion range of motion can lead to slower walking speeds and compensatory changes that can cause developmental effects on a child's gait. Relevant research on the topic of CIPN-related gait abnormalities in children with cancer identifies knowledge gaps and the need for more studies on the effects of CIPN on children.
