What percentage is assigned for complete immobility of the great toe?

The percentage assigned for complete immobility of the great toe is accurately set at 8%. This assessment is grounded in California’s Workers' Compensation system, specifically within the guidelines that determine impairment ratings for various body parts as outlined in the American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment.

In the context of foot and toe injuries, the great toe is critical for balance and mobility, and its immobility can significantly impact an individual's overall function. Therefore, the 8% rating reflects the degree of impairment caused by the loss of motion in this specific digit. The rating system is designed to provide a structured approach for evaluating the impact of injuries and ensuring that claimants receive appropriate compensation based on the extent of their impairments. This ensures consistency in evaluating similar cases across the board.
