The Effects of Leg Length Discrepancy on Stability and Kinematics-Kinetics Deviations: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Various studies have examined body posture stability, including postural sway and associated biomechanical parameters, to assess the severity effects of leg length discrepancy (LLD). However, various viewpoints have been articulated on the results of these studies because of certain drawbacks in the comprehensive analysis of the effect of variations in LLD magnitude. Therefore, this systematic review was performed to help focus on the current findings to help identify which biomechanical parameters are most re… Show more

“…Leg length discrepancy (LLD) is defined as the difference in leg length from the navel to the left and right medial (malleolus) in the supine position and is reported to negatively affect musculoskeletal posture and normal gait patterns. [1][2][3] In addition, LLD increases asymmetrical changes in kinetic variables such as joint moment, joint force, and ground repulsion generated and kinematic variables such as joint motion range, joint angular velocity, and gait cycle in both legs during gait. 4,5 LLD is caused by a wide variety of factors, 6 and is classified into structural LLD and functional LLD based on the cause.…”

“…Inequality between lower extremities is known as Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD). LLD affects the patients' quality of life due to several functional activities such as posture, balance [1,2], walking [3][4][5] and running [6] being disrupted.…”

“…If the LLD amounts to over 20 mm, it is considered to be significant, and what is concerning is that this condition occurs in 0.1% of the world's population [2]. With regards to etiology, LLD is classified as structural or functional.…”

“…LLD also known as leg length inequality (LLI) or short leg syndrome, which means either one of the legs is longer or shorter. It is also known as leg length insufficiency or anisomelia [3]. LLD classified into three types according to the way that LLD can occurs.…”
