Lame

Lameness is a medical and traumatic condition in which there is an impairment of the ability to move, associated with temporary or permanent impairment of motor function of the lower extremity. Lameness is a symptom of various diseases and damage to the human musculoskeletal system. It is a form of walking disorder. How does lameness affect a person's life? People suffering from lameness have to spend significantly more energy moving. They are susceptible to fatigue, as they are forced to support their weight through increased muscle work in order to maintain balance. In this case, the tissues are loaded with excess work, which can lead to damage. Longitudinal chromate usually appears after injury or disease of the knee or ankle joint. Increased muscle tension leads to other problems:

- chronic pain in the leg muscles; - pain in the joints of the legs; - numbness of tissues; - limited movement of the leg joint. With longitudinal lameness, the following is observed: **atrophy of the lower leg muscles** due to excessive tension in the leg muscles, which leads to a change in gait, incorrect foot placement and even stooping of the back; *with limping, the legs begin to resemble “columns”, and the person stops placing the foot parallel to the ground* **spasm of the calf muscles** (with the inability to stand quietly without support) *leg trembles while walking* **cross claudication**
