Leg Length Inequality (Short/Long Leg)
The supine leg check as a determinant of
physiological/postural leg length inequality: a case study
and analysis leg length inequality (LLI) Knutson, Gary A.,
Chiropractic Research Journal, Vol. VII, No. 1, Spring 2000
This
paper presents a case study of imposed leg length inequality
following total hip replacement surgery and compares and
contrasts methods used to determine anatomic and physiologic
or postural LLI.
It is proposed that, within certain parameters,
nonweight-bearing postural leg checks are evidence of physiological
or postural, and not anatomic, LLI.
