Abstract
It has been suggested that leg length measurement is important in gait pathologies and in the surgical dimension, when certain types of procedure are being undertaken, namely total hip arthroplasties. We report on two different methods of measuring leg length difference in a 31-year-old male. A clinical measure was undertaken and compared to a score utilising a functional methodology. Both methods shared similar results, however, the functional method gave the additional benefit by indicating, not just the total length of the leg, but the length of the two long bones involved.
