Gait abnormalities are associated with altered lower-limb biomechanics and functional impairment in musculoskeletal disorders. Although low back pain, hip pain, and knee pain have been linked to impaired gait in observational studies, their causal relationships remain unclear. We conducted a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess potential causal associations between site-specific pain and...
