-These are summarised by an increased relative contribution to total mechanical work done during CAM boot walking -These can be partially altered by the implementation of even-up walkers, but there some additional considerations there.

-This increased relative contribution might, over prolonged wear, help explain the secondary-site pain often reported in neighbouring joints. Hopefully more to follow soon 👀
