Limp Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
A limp is a type of asymmetric abnormality of the gait. Limping may be caused by pain, weakness, neuromuscular imbalance, or a skeletal deformity. The most common underlying cause of a painful limp is physical trauma; however, in the absence of trauma, other serious causes such as septic arthritis, or slipped capital femoral epiphysis may be present. The diagnostic approach involves ruling out potentially serious causes via the use of X-rays, blood work, and potentially joint aspiration. Initial treatment involves pain management. A limp is the presenting problem in about 4% of children who visit the emergency department.

The Long Island Motor Parkway (LIMP), also known as the Vanderbilt Parkway and Motor Parkway, was a parkway on Long Island, New York, in the United States. It was the first roadway designed for automobile use only. The road was privately built by William Kissam Vanderbilt with overpasses and bridges to remove intersections. It opened in 1908 as a toll road and closed in 1938 when it was taken over by the state of New York in lieu of back taxes. Parts of the parkway survive today in sections of other roadways and as a bicycle trail in Queens.
