Can You do 5 Inches? Dorsiflexion Test

Edit Post

Wanted people who haven't or have done LL to try this test (be sure it's the kneeling one not standing) and report if you can do 5 inches or greater whilst keeping your heel down. 5 inches seems to be the golden standard. Just want to get a gauge of the normal population here. I can do 1 inch on my left leg and 4 inches on my right leg before the heel comes up. Obviously something wrong with my left. I am going to go to a doctor and inquire about possible reasons for its limitation. It's the leg I've had trouble with from the beginning.

Interesting you can do so little pre-LL. I've read that a minimum of 3.5 inches is needed for a proper gait and normal daily activities.

With 4.5 inches, my right leg is close to normal. I still can't squat or run adequately, but this limitation seems to be dependent on the status of my left leg. If I require surgery to correct it then so be it, because it is far behind my right for some reason.
