If you have femur tibia ratio of 0.8, which one is better to be 0.7 or 0.9?

Quote from: Valiant on August 01, 2018, 04:24:34 PMThat makes you an excellent candidate for femur lengthening and not just to be taller but for maintaining joint health in the long term. Usually the top range is 0.92, but you're 1, which is unusual. Did you measure yourself or with assistance?

I did it twice on my own it was like 35 cm lower leg and 37 cm upper leg so I actually got a friend to help me out he got the 35-35 so I took the measurement I got from him because it’s likely to be more accurate then mine so how much does this actually help me out with LL

Tibia

Femur

Is this how you did it? As shown in the above videos.

The concern with LL is you don't want and try to avoid going outside the tibia/ femur ratios of 0.78(long femur) to 0.92(long Tibia) in the interests of preserving joint health. There was study which showed that a tibia/Femur ratio of 0.8 is most optimal for joint health and correlated with less joint pathology. If your measurements are  accurate, this means you have a femur to Tibia ratio of 1 or an extremely long tibia, so you can get away by lengthening your femur quite extensively and still be within in the 0.78- .0.92 ratio.

Based on your measurements, you could lengthen your femur by 8cm  to total length of 43cm which would put you in the  ratio of 0.81.

Yea I did it like that plus it also works out to equal my inseam that I have which is another reason I believe it’s accurate

When measuring inseam do you extend the measuring tape all the way to the floor or do you stop at your ankles?.

My combined length of femur and tibia is 79cm, but my inseam is 82cm.

Overall it goes to 78 all the way if I measure to just my ankles it goes to 70 cm

Measuring like the video, I got 40cm tibias and 44cm femurs, my inseam is 80cm and height is 167cm.
That means my ratio is 0.91.

Now, if I length by 7cm, it will be like this

Height: 174cm
Inseam: 87cm

Femur: 51cm -> 0.78
Tibia: 47cm -> 1.06

AND my legs will represent 50% of my total height...


... fffffk! :c

Have you tried doing a mock up LL on ms paint?

Maybe you will look better than you think.

Not really, there is a pic of me here, from that I believe it's visible that I got long legs.

Hard to tell actually from this photo. I would say your torso looks long in this photo not your legs IMO. You need to take a pic from further away, preferably set your phone or camera on a table  or tripod mid body height and walk at least 3 metres away in distance from the camera.

 Something like this. This is my LL mockup.

Where did you get these numbers?
