Running And the Dastardly Leg Length Discrepancy

This blog post by Allan Besselink discusses briefly the runner and how clinicians often attribute leg length discrepancy to injuries.  Allan makes a very valid point in his post: running injuries are typically related to training.  That could mean overtraining, improper training, lack of supplemental training (weights, flexibility, etc) and so on.  He points out that the inter-rater reliability for palpation of anatomic landmarks are poor at best, meaning we do not know if there is a leg length discrepancy.  He explains his thought process on this topic throughout the post.
