In this episode we return to part two of our discussion with Monash University researcher and podiatrist Associate Professor Cylie Williams. Hosted by Luke Perraton.
Cylie talks about her special interest area, idiopathic toe walking in kids. We learn that idiopathic toe walking is a diagnosis of exclusion and Cylie gives a summary of some of the other serious conditions that should be excluded prior to diagnosing the condition. We also talk about other important research Cylie completed during her NHMRC fellowship related to wound care.
