Abstract/Notes

Interest in leg length inequality (LLI) has focused on the amount needed to trigger low back problems and the prevalence found in the population. More recent attention deals with LLI and the distribution of weight in either leg. It has been found the greater weight will shift to the side opposite the short leg. The present study predicted more parity of weight after an atlas adjustment. Pre and post measurements on 93 subjects were found to be 12.84 lbs. and 3.67 lbs. The contra-lateral weights were greater than the ipsi-lateral weights which is consistent with the previous research.

There was discussion about structural and functional LLI. The incidence of structural LLI thought to exist in the population may be over-estimated .
