When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

antalgic gait
self-protective limp due to pain, characterized by a short stance phase on the affected leg. The commonest cause is transient synovitis of the hip. Other causes include Perthes disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), stress fracture, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, osteoid osteoma. The age of the child, clinical history and examination will generally suggest the diagnosis allowing radiological imaging to be directed as appropriate.

Das sogenannte Schmerzhinken oder Schonhinken ist Folge schmerzhafter Erkrankungen oder Traumata an Bein (z. B. Kniegelenk), Fuß (z. B. Sprunggelenk oder Achillessehne), Hüftgelenk oder Iliosakralgelenken. Einseitiger Hüftschmerz kann beispielsweise durch Prellung, Coxitis (Hüftgelenksentzündung), Hüftkopfnekrose oder Hüftgelenksarthrose verursacht sein.
Der Begriff des Schmerzvermeidungshinkens (engl. "antalgic gait") wurde 1939 von Jacques Calvé geprägt als er das Hinken bei Hüftschmerzen (Coxalgien) beschrieb
