Bilateral Asymmetries in Clinical Measures of Lower-Extremity Anatomic Characteristics.

The article discusses the bilateral asymmetries in clinical measures of lower-extremity anatomic characteristics. The paper aims to quantify side-to-side differences in lower-extremity anatomic characteristics, and to compare the magnitude of left-right differences with the measurement error for each variable. It measures the total leg length, pelvic ankle, hip anteversion, standing and supine quadriceps angle, tibiofemoral angle, knee laxity, genu recurvatum, femur and tibia length, tibial torsion, rearfoot angle and navicular drop.
