Biomechanical implications of mild leg length inequality.
The effect of mild leg length inequality (lower extremity length difference less than 3 cm) on posture and gait has been the source of much controversy. Many opinions have been expressed both for and against the need for intervention to reduce the magnitude of the discrepancy. This paper emphasizes the need for accurate and reliable assessment of leg length differences using a clinically functi...
متن کاملEffects of Upright Posture
Previous hemodynamic studies of patients with septal defects, or patent ductus arteriosus, have been made with the patient recumbent in the horizontal posture. Our studies indicate unexpected changes in pulmonary blood flow with the upright posture, and often further increments in flow during walking that are different from those reported for exercise in recumbency. It is suggested that such de...
متن کاملThe effect of simulating a leg-length discrepancy on pelvic position and spinal posture
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine how a leg-length discrepancy contributes to the pelvic position and spinal posture. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 20 subjects (10 males, 10 females) were examined during different artificially created leg-length inequalities (0-4 cm) using a platform. The pelvic tilt and torsion and the sagittal deviation of the spine were measured using th...
متن کاملEffect of simulating leg length inequality on pelvic torsion and trunk mobility.
Although techniques such as roentgenograms and magnetic resonance imaging can provide definitive information about leg length inequality, they are not easily implemented for screening purposes. Using relative heights of palpated iliac crests as criteria for determining degree of lateral pelvic tilt, we examined the immediate effect of simulating leg length inequality on pelvic torsion and trunk...
متن کاملDetermination of the amount of leg length inequality that induces scoliotic spinal posture changes in healthy subjects using video rasterstereography
zBackground Leg length inequalities (LLIs) can result in a functional scoliosis, increased energy consumption, abnormal gait or osteoarthritis of the hip[1]. In a previous study we simulated different LLIs of up to 15 mm and evaluated their effects on the pelvic position and spinal posture [2]. We found a correlation between LLIs and resulting changes of the pelvic position. Despite suggestions...
