I personally feel that a human with only one leg could walk faster than a zombie, but I can find no definitive studies to back up this premise.


Don
It is possible that an individual with one functioning leg might still be able to out hop a classic zombie, ones that slowly shamble towards their target. As far as a zombie targeting specific body parts, it is likely a side effect of them trying to get at any body part, with the outlying parts (arms and legs) as the ones easiest to get at.

But more modern versions of zombies are able to run at full speed and they don't feel tired in the same way as humans do. In that case, anything which slows down the human (such as a weakened leg) would allow the modern zombie to overtake them.
