Motorcycle accidents are particularly vulnerable to certain body parts and location of injuries in accident victims is dominated by head injuries, followed by lower extremities.  This can significantly impact daily life since the legs play a crucial role in the body by supporting weight and providing for locomotion. This can be caused by several factors and it can affect the severity of the injury. Therefore, the effect of gender, age, position of victims, mechanism of accident, and time of accident on foot injury patterns in motorcycle accident needs to be investigated and studied further.
