Patients’ perceptions are difficult to predict. Some patients have the perceptions of LLD that are not correlate with radiographic measurement. limb length discrepancy,
Conditions
Interventions
Patient’s perception was assessed with block test technique. Each 1 millimeter-
thickness block was placed under the shorter limb until the patient perceived that both limbs were equal. The total thickness of block in millimeters was interpreted as patient’s perception in LLD.
bearing orthoroentgenography was displayed as digital image by the picture archiving and communication system (PACS). In order to obtain a full-
length standing radiograph of the lower extremities. The distance between the center of femoral head and the center of tibial plafond was measured. The difference between these measurement of each sid
limb length discrepancy,
was interpreted in millimeters. Positive value meant that the observed limb was longer than the contralateral limb,
whereas a negative value meant the opposite.
