LIMB LENGTH DISCRIPENCY PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT IN NEW FRIENDS COLONY-PHYSIONAUTICS Limb length discrepancy (LLD) refers to a condition where one limb is shorter than the other, which can lead to various functional issues and discomfort. This discrepancy can be classified into two types: anatomical, where there is a physical difference in bone length, and functional, which arises from factors like muscle tightness or joint contractures. Causes of Limb Length Discrepancy - Several factors contribute to LLD, including congenital conditions, growth plate injuries, and surgical interventions. For instance, fractures that affect the growth plates during childhood can disrupt normal bone development, leading to discrepancies. Additionally, certain diseases such as neurofibromatosis or infections can also result in unequal limb lengths. Symptoms may include such as uneven hips, altered gait patterns (like limping), and increased fatigue during physical activities. These changes can lead to compensatory mechanisms in posture and movement, potentially resulting in secondary issues like low back pain or joint discomfort.
