Short leg syndrome in clinical practice
https://doi.org/10.32885/2220-0975-2024-2-113-130
Abstract
The article is devoted to the short leg phenomenon. Data on its prevalence in the population are presented. Much attention is paid to the differential diagnosis of false functional shortening and true anatomic shortening of the lower limb. The pathogenesis of pain syndrome and degenerative-dystrophic processes, postural disorders associated with unequal leg length are discussed in detail. The questions of correction of postural imbalance depending on its causes are discussed: lift therapy, osteopathic correction, gymnastics. The data of actual researches and own clinical observations are given.
