Compensatory Lameness Patterns Law of Sides Ipsilateral suggests 1º hind limb lameness - THIS IS TRUE!!!!! WATCH OUT - Compensatory FL can be of any type (impact, midstance, push off)
Contralateral suggests 1º forelimb lameness - This is partly true… Most Common - Compensatory contralateral HL decreased push off
Less Common - Compensatory contralateral HL decreased push off and ipsilateral HL decreased impact
- Compensatory ipsilateral HL decreased impact (note: this pattern could also be indicative of primary hind)
