What condition does macrodactyly describe?

Macrodactyly refers to a condition characterized by enlarged digits, which can affect either the fingers or toes. This enlargement can occur due to various factors, including genetic conditions, local vascular anomalies, or certain syndromes. The impact on an individual's functionality and appearance can vary depending on the severity of the enlargement. Understanding macrodactyly is essential for occupational therapy assistants as it may influence therapy planning, as individuals with this condition may face challenges in performing daily activities due to the size of their digits.
