Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lower extremity asymmetry on the kinetic energy of the leg segments during ambulation. The equalization of leg length by means of a lift equalized the time durations for the four phases of a gait cycle. Leg length equalization also decreased the kinetic energy of the lower extremity segments for both legs despite a difference in the segmental masses of the two legs.
