Homonym: Limp (Weakness)
A "limp" refers to an uneven or abnormal walking pattern, often caused by pain or injury in the legs or feet. It can result from various conditions, such as sprains, fractures, or arthritis. When someone limps, they may favor one leg over the other to reduce discomfort, which can lead to changes in posture and gait.
Limping can affect people of all ages and may require medical attention if it persists. Treatment options often include rest, physical therapy, or medication to alleviate pain. In some cases, assistive devices like crutches or braces may be recommended to support mobility while healing.
