- Leg Length Inequality... why?
- premature osteoarthritis, infertility, chronic fetal wastage
- etiology of sacral base unleveling
- short leg, short hemi-pelvis, pelvic somatic dysfunction (shears, rotations), sacral anomalies, L5 anomalies, LE deformities (knee, hip)
- actual leg length is measured
- medial malleolus to ASIS
- straighten
- fwd bending tends to ____ these curves as the sidebending and rotation are most prominent in neutral mechanics
- 1/8"
- with other problems present, leg lenth differences as short as ___ can be significant?
- long leg side
- Leg length inequality? d/t arch collapse, d/t osteoarthritis of the hip, d/t piriformis syndrome
- 1/2"
- if only problem is leg length, the leg length difference without adverse effects can be?
- shoe gets built atop a platform
- when heel lifts are over 1"
- Heilig Formula
- determines how much heel lift to give and in what increments
- Sacral Base Unleveling
- the spinal curve compensates for the pelvic tilt.
- erect AP, lateral lumbar spine
- type of XR to perform for diagnosis of scoliosis
- SBD/D+C... sacral base declination, duration, compensation
- what is the heilig formula?
- low back pain
- major symptom with a compensatory curve
- Heel lift treatment
- if bone growth is complete, what txment for uneven legs?
- 15 degrees
- most curves measure less than...
- What areas do you check for scoliosis diagnosis?
- symmetry, mid-gravity line, forward bending, leg length
- short leg side
- leg length discrepancy..d/t ovarian cyst
- absolute goal of scoliosis treatment?
- straighten the spine
