Leg Length Discrepancy (Why It Probably Doesn't Matter | Evidence Based)

Leg length discrepancy is also referred to as leg length inequality, leg length asymmetry, or even the less pleasant term- short leg syndrome. As the name alludes, it is in reference to when there is a difference in length between the right and left leg.

In this video, we explain what leg length discrepancy is, how it’s measured, it’s connection to pain, how much of a difference really matters, and if we do have a difference, what can we do about it.
