What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Lower limb length discrepancy (LLD) is a frequent condition in pediatric orthopedics. Even moderate discrepancies can induce pelvic obliquity and compensatory scoliosis, modifying the distribution of joint loads at the hips and lumbar spine. These biomechanical imbalances are suspected to contribute to early degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis or chronic low back pain. The aim of this study is to quantify the biomechanical impact of LLD in children aged 10 to 15 years, using a combination of low dose biplanar EOS imaging (EOS Imaging System) and synchronized ground reaction force (GRF) measurements from integrated force platforms. These data will be used in musculoskeletal models developed in collaboration with the Biomechanics and Impact Mechanics Laboratory (LBMC, Laboratoire de Biomécanique et Mécanique des Chocs), enabling the estimation of hip joint and lumbar interverte
