What is physiological short leg?
You have physiological short leg when your leg bones are the same anatomical length, but appear and function as if they are different lengths. Sometimes called functional short leg, this phenomenon is caused by your body's mechanical, neurological and muscular abnormalities acquired from both recent and past traumas.
Take a look at your saddle.
Does your saddle have asymmetrical denting and wear? If so, your probably have a physiological short leg, and your short leg is on the side of the saddle dent and the wear.
Here’s what happens to you.
At the end of you downstroke on the side of your physiological short leg, your leg performs a pawing motion to reach for you bike pedal. This reaching motion makes your sits bone on the side of your physiological short leg press downward, forward and more to the side of your saddle.
At the end of your downstroke on the side of your physiological long leg, your leg sticks on your bike pedal, pulling your pelvis back toward the midline of your saddle.
This alternating reaching and sticking of your legs with every crank revolution causes your hips to wiggle in the saddle. Your riding partner will be able to observe your hips wiggling if you have a physiological short leg. You will also be able to observe asymmetrical remodeling and wear of your saddle.
Hip wiggle’s wasted motion reduces your mechanical efficiency, performance, increases your recovery time, squanders your energy, wears out your knees and hips, predisposes you to acute injury, and makes riding less fluid, harmonious and enjoyable.
Here’s what you can do about it.
