Robert Cooperstein, MA, DC Journal of Chiropractic Medicine Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2017, Pages 103–110 Abstract Objective The primary objective of the current study was to determine the reliability between methods of supine and prone leg length inequality (LLI) assessment. The secondary objective was to determine if the degree of examiner confidence affected the […]
Satu Rannisto BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2015, 16:110 Abstract Background Some studies suggest that leg length discrepancy (LLD) is associated with low back pain (LBP) but many have not found such an association leading to conflicting evidence on the role of LLD in LBP. Methods The study population consisted of meat cutters with a standing job […]
J Am Osteopath Assoc. 2014 Aug;114(8):620-30. doi: 10.7556/jaoa.2014.127. Qureshi Y1, Kusienski A2, Bemski JL2, Luksch JR2, Knowles LG2. Abstract CONTEXT: Somatic dysfunctions of the pelvis, sacrum, and lumbar spine are common. Their association with leg length discrepancies has been observed; however, it is unclear which dysfunctions lead to mild changes in leg length or weight […]
Qureshi J Am Osteopath Assoc. 2014 Aug;114(8):620-30 Abstract CONTEXT: Somatic dysfunctions of the pelvis, sacrum, and lumbar spine are common. Their association with leg length discrepancies has been observed; however, it is unclear which dysfunctions lead to mild changes in leg length or weight bearing distribution in asymptomatic individuals. OBJECTIVES: To determine which somatic dysfunctions […]

The most reproducible method. Heaver C, et al. S Hip Int. 2013 Aug 9;23(4):391-394. doi: 10.5301/hipint.5000042. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract Leg length inequality following total hip replacement remains common. In an effort to reduce this occurrence, surgeons undertake pre-operative measurements, templating and use various forms of intraoperative measurements, including computer navigation. This study aims […]
Leg length discrepancy and osteoarthritic knee pain in the elderly: an observational study. Noll DR. J Am Osteopath Assoc. 2013. Citation J Am Osteopath Assoc. 2013 Sep;113(9):670-8. doi: 10.7556/jaoa.2013.033. Abstract CONTEXT: Osteoarthritic knee pain is very common, as are leg length discrepancies (LLDs). The relationship between LLDs and osteoarthritic knee pain is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To […]
