The following is my original post and summaries of responses to my inquiry
regarding a shoe lift for apparent pelvic obliquity. Thanks to all who replied.
Following the responses is my action after sifting through the responses.
Is there a recommended treatment for apparent leg length discrepancy due to
pelvic obliquity? A 78 year old active woman called me and has been to her
doctor who prescribed a shoe lift. She has scoliosis and back pain, but no hip
or knee pain. Nobody has measured her legs, but she tell me the discrepancy
is greater than 1/2 inch. I told her that her legs are probably the same
length and the discrepancy is probably due to pelvic obliquity associated with the
scoliosis. She thinks I am probably right and asked if the lift would promote
further pelvic obliquity and scoliosis? I thought she was pretty sharp.
What are your thoughts on this?
