Inequality in leg length is important for the understanding of the pathophysiology of lumbar disc herniation [PDF]

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2016
Objective: Inequality in leg length may lead to to abnormal transmission of load across the endplates and degeneration lumbar spine and the disc space. There has been no study focusing on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and leg length discrepancy.

Residual malformations and leg length discrepancy after treatment of fibular hemimelia

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2011
Background Fibular hemimelia has been reported as the most common congenital longitudinal deficiency of the long bones. Previous studies have focused on the best treatment options for this congenital condition.

Does structural leg-length discrepancy affect postural control? Preliminary study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2017
Background Leg-length inequality results in an altered position of the spine and pelvis. Previous studies on the influence of leg asymmetry on postural control have been inconclusive.

Effects of Artificially Induced Leg Length Discrepancy on Treadmill-Based Walking and Running Symmetry in Healthy College Students: A Lab-Based Experimental Study

Sensors, 2023
Leg length discrepancy (LLD) is a common postural deviation of musculoskeletal origin, which causes compensatory reactions and often leads to injury. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of artificially induced LLD on gait symmetry by means

Relationship between foot posture index and plantar pressure distribution in patients with limb length inequality: a case series study [PDF]

Revista Española de Podología, 2018
Introduction: The presence of compensations in patients with limb length inequality (LLI) is still an issue of debate. The present study compared diff erences in the static position and in the plantar pressure distribution during standing of both feet ...

Analysis of the mechanism and clinical classification of thoracolumbar scoliosis using three-dimensional EOS and surface electromyography

Heliyon, 2023
To analyze a thoracolumbar scoliosis group, we analyzed data from the acquired database by groups: the sEMG group (n = 16) and 3D-EOS group (n = 55). The asymmetric hyper/hypoactivation ratio of muscle and LLD (>3 mm) were measured in the sEMG group.
