We have studied the effects of ankle arthrodesis on the gait of three subjects with special
attention to the time and sagittal plane kinematic and kinetic characteristics. Each subject
had a painless arthrodesis and no other gait limitation. To compensate for this disability they
showed an increased range of movement at the ipsilateral mid-tarsal, knee and hip joints,
and required greater than normal resuftan joint moments to be generated at the ipsilateral
knee and hip joints. The subjects exhibited stride-to-stride kinetic compensation at the knee …
