Is the Hip Keeping the Ankle Out of Work after Total Ankle Arthroplasty? by Frank DiLiberto PT, PhD, Maxine Olson MS, Finola Summerville, Stacey Meardon PhD, PT, Anand Vora MD

“…Of note, postoperative ankle energy production (i.e. power, work) during gait is also deficient and related to lower gait speed and physical function scores. These findings raise questions regarding if people after TAA have the capacity to generate greater ankle energy or rely on proximal joint (e.g. hip) energy during walking and more challenging daily functional tasks. …”
