Compensatory gait mechanics in person with multiple toe amputation: A single case report

This case highlights the biomechanical influence of toe amputation on contralateral limb force elevation, possibly through reduced ipsilateral plantar flexor torque production. These findings provide insight into toe amputation‐related compensatory gait mechanics with greater inter‐limb asymmetry, w...

Sumario:This case highlights the biomechanical influence of toe amputation on contralateral limb force elevation, possibly through reduced ipsilateral plantar flexor torque production. These findings provide insight into toe amputation‐related compensatory gait mechanics with greater inter‐limb asymmetry, which may increase the risk of musculoskeletal comorbidities, including osteoarthritis in contralateral limb.
