3 ways to determine limb length discrepancy in a runner
Рет қаралды 1,041
2 жыл бұрынThis podcast episode actually comes from a telemedicine visit second opinion that I was doing with a a triathlete and a runner and he was having pain as he ramped up his mileage. It turns out he had what we call a limb length discrepancy, where you actually have one leg that is a little bit shorter than the other. This is something we see a lot in runners who are starting to get problems as they ramp up their mileage. Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about three signs of limb length discrepancies in runners.

In your patient with the 4mm discrepancy, was it the shorter leg or the longer one that was more symptomatic? On that note, what are the common leg symptoms (and which leg)? I.e tight calves, hamstrings, knee pain, hip pain and which side? Thanks!

Good day doc is leg length discrepancy a disability? And can I join the army if I had one
@DocOnTheRun 2 жыл бұрын
Great question. A disability is any condition of the body that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions). My sense is that a mild limb length discrepancy would not typically be considered a disability, but a severe discrepancy might be. I have no idea whether or not it would prevent enlisting in the Army in the US or elsewhere, but I am sure a recruiter would know.

For Leg Discrepancy diagnosis and solution, do I see a Sports Physiotherapist or Sports Physical therapist?

Hello Joe. Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, I do not know enough about your case to make a recommendation.
