-LEG LENGTH-

-as of [31 JANUARY 2025]-

To measure your leg length, you can use a measuring tape to measure from the top of your hip bone to the bottom of your ankle bone.

It’s best to have someone help you with this measurement

Steps

Lie down on the floor with your legs straight and your feet apart.

Have your helper place one end of the measuring tape directly under your hip bone.

Have your helper place the other end of the measuring tape on the bony joint on your ankle.

Write down the measurement in inches

Repeat for the other leg

You can also measure your leg length from your belly button to your ankle bone.

This is known as an “apparent” leg length measurement

Why measure your leg length?

Doctors use leg length measurements to determine if a person has a leg length discrepancy, which is when one leg is longer than the other.

Some difference in leg length is normal.
