How much does leg length difference actually matter—and when should you do something about it?
Leg length difference (LLD) is common, but knowing when it’s clinically meaningful is far less straightforward. Structural vs. functional differences, movement compensations, measurement methods, and outdated clinical guidelines can make it difficult to decide who needs intervention, what type, and when.
Join Brandon Nethercott, R. Kin, C. Ped (C) for a practical, hands-on evening designed to help clinicians confidently screen, interpret, and manage leg length differences in real-world patients.
You’ll learn how to:
- Differentiate structural vs. functional leg length differences
- Screen for movement compensations associated with LLD
- Assess and measure LLD and apply your findings to the clinical picture
- Understand where current clinical guidelines fall short
- Determine when a leg length difference actually warrants intervention
- Decide between training, lift therapy, or a combination of both
- Approach differences of >5 mm, 5–10 mm, and 10+ mm
- Build both short- and long-term management strategies
- Work through clinical cases to translate assessment findings into treatment decisions
- Bonus: Explore when scoliosis may warrant intervention
The goal isn’t simply to find an asymmetry. It’s to understand whether it matters to the patient in front of you—and what to do about it.
