(Part 2) Debunking Leg Length Discrepancy
Other MisconceptionsBrodie dives into a 2005 review paper by Gary A Knutson titled: 'Anatomic and functional leg-length inequality: A review and recommendation for clinical decision-making'.
In part 2 Brodie will talk about:
- Your responses and personal experiences with leg length discrepancy, what treatments have been effective or unhelpful.
- The difference between anatomical discrepancy and the functional 'short leg', stemmed from neuromuscular dysfunction.
- The effects a leg discrepancy might have on your core endurance, balance and coordination.
- The role of heel lifts for individuals with and without significant discrepancy (>20mm).
Brodie then summarises the episode and includes his perspective on the relevance within the running community.
