What Is Leg Length Discrepancy and How Much Is Normal? Leg length discrepancy is a difference in the length of your right and left legs. It is extremely common: most studies find that about 90 percent of people have some measurable difference, and the average is roughly 5 millimeters. Small discrepancies are usually harmless, while larger differences can affect gait, load joints unevenly, and sometimes contribute to pain; treatment depends on size and symptoms.

One leg a bit longer than the other? That's normal for most of us. When does it matter, and what can help - therapy or simple shoe lifts? #BackPain #LegLengthDiscrepancy #LimbLengthInequality #Orthopedics #ShoeLifts
