Summary
Toe amputation can alter gait biomechanics, leading to increased force in the opposite limb. This compensatory mechanism may raise the risk of osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal issues in the uninjured leg.
Area of Science:
- Biomechanics
- Orthopedics
- Gait Analysis
Background:
- Toe amputation significantly impacts lower limb function.
- Compensatory mechanisms following amputation can lead to altered loading patterns.
