Foot injuries are dropped-weight and crush injuries — warehouse, construction, delivery — and every standing trade feels them in the rating. The money math from any WPI is fixed, computed here by the rating engine.
How foot injuries are measured
The AMA Guides rate the foot (impairment number 17.08.04.00 for range of motion) from hindfoot and toe deficits, with gait derangement and arthritis rated by other methods when they fit better. Rough anchors: a healed fracture with modest stiffness runs mid-single digits WPI; crush residuals and arthritis reach the teens.

What this table can’t tell you
Feet pull ankles, knees, and backs into the case through gait — multiple parts combine on the CVC rather than add, wages below the maximum scale the dollars down, and settlements price future medical beyond any table. Companion pages: back · knee · shoulder · neck · hip · wrist · ankle · elbow · hand. Estimates for informational use; not legal or medical advice.
