If I might throw my ankle problems onto the pile for consideration...I'd appreciate any thoughts.
I have advanced post traumatic arthritis in my R ankle. It's bone on bone and only moves so much. Medically I need a fusion but am delaying that as long as possible. Any suggestions for the lunges? I have difficulty when my R ankle is the back leg. It doesn't bother it to place weight on it though just bending too much. You should see me duck walking down stairs.
Is there any downfalls to doing them with limited range of motion (ie shallower)? Is that harder on the knees or anything? Is it a waste of time? But I do need to do more single leg movements especially given that when I do have surgery I'll be non weight bearing for a few months so I need to be able to haul my carcass around with just one leg for a while.
