Length Discrepancy Assessment

Length Discrepancy Assessment is a process used by healthcare professionals to determine if there is a difference in the length of a person's legs. This involves measuring each leg's length from specific points, like the pelvis to the ankle, to identify any differences. Recognizing such discrepancies helps in diagnosing issues related to posture, gait, or alignment, and guides appropriate treatment or interventions, such as exercises, orthotics, or therapy, to improve movement and reduce discomfort.
