Table 2. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients () that were used to quantify the relationship between leg-length inequality and degree of gait symmetry for a sample of able-bodied subjects (n = 26). Degree of symmetry for sagittal-plane knee joint moment and power, and ankle joint moment and power were moderately and negatively related to leg-length inequality. This indicates that as leg-length inequality increased, gait symmetry for knee and ankle joint moment and power decreased. |
