Orthotics for Leg Length Discrepancy or The Short Leg Vancouver Orthotics

Leg Length Discrepancy or Short Leg Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD), or Leg Length Inequality (LLI), or Short Leg occurs when the legs are either different lengths or appear to be different lengths because of misalignment. If the legs are measurably different in length, this can be caused by a birth defect or after a broken leg, serious infection, or damage done to one of the growth plates in the leg. The more common type of LLD is seen when the legs themselves are the same length, but perhaps due to misalignment, causes from neuromuscular injuries, one leg or hip is held higher than the other, causing one leg to appear longer. Even a leg length difference as small as a quarter inch can cause difficulty and pain in walking and can Leg Length Discrepancy or Short Leg manifest as lower back pain, hip and knee pain, uneven gait, and various foot and lower leg problems.
