Abstract: Objective: a) Establish a precise, standardized method to assess prone leg alignment changes (functional "leg length inequality"), which have, until now, been reported clinically to occur as a result putative chiropractic subluxation isolation tests [neck flexion (C1-2) and extension (C5)]; and b) describe differences in leg alignment changes in a group of healthy subjects and patients with chronic spinal complaints.
