RESUMO:
Many physical limitations are observed in the population, and asymmetries appear as a relevant factor for the inefficiency of motor gestures, both in daily activities and in sports. Member discrepancies are an example of these asymmetries, and this condition in which the limbs are visibly unequal when paired, is most often shown in the lower limbs. The objective of this study was to describe the instrument and to identify the correlation and the statistical difference between a low-cost lower limb discrepancy method and the gold-standard method for this. This is a cross-sectional study in which the lower limb discrepancies of five subjects were evaluated using this low-cost Legmeter device and compared with the results reported by radiography. For the data normality, we used the Shapiro-Wilk test, the Student's T test and the pearson correlation test for the level of distribution and correlation of the data, respectively. The results showed that the two methods did not present statistical differences (p = 0.598) and presented a high positive correlation (r = 0.917; p = 0.029). In this way, the Legmeter low cost discrepancy evaluation method is shown as a reliable and more accessible resource for this type of evaluation. Further studies are being performed with larger sample sizes for more consistent results.
