RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to test the validity of dynamic leg length discrepancy (DLLD) during gait as a radiation-free screening method for measuring anatomic leg length discrepancy (ALLD). Thirty-three subjects with mild leg length discrepancy walked along a walkway and the dynamic leg length discrepancy (DLLD) was calculated using a motion analysis system. Pearson correlation and paired Student t-tests were applied to calculate the correlation and compare the differences between DLLD and ALLD (αâ¯=â¯0.05). The results of our study showed DLLD is not a valid method to predict ALLD in subjects with mild limb discrepancy.
