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...

In conditions where there is moderate or severe pain, such as in low back pain, sciatica and osteoarthritis affecting the hip, the patient often reports the sensation that the two legs are of unequal length.

In addition, the medical records of all patients treated for FLLI by the senior author (C.S.R.) in the past 15 years was reviewed.

متن کاملLeg Length Inequality and the Side of Low Back Pain
LBP is a common complaint that affects 88% of people and is our most expensive disease (4-6), but frequently the cause remains unknown. Controversy continues as to which pathologic or radiological abnormalities may be of significance in LBP. Using radiological criteria (5,7-11), etiologic groupings of conditions thought to cause LBP do not mention whether LLI was taken into account when evaluat...
متن کاملIs unilateral posterior crossbite associated with leg length inequality?
It has been suggested that malocclusions may influence whole body posture, including leg length, but the current scientific evidence to support this statement is poor. The aim of the present study was to investigate a possible association between leg length inequality (LLI) and unilateral posterior crossbite. A survey was carried out in young adolescents recruited from three schools. The sample...
