Orthotics for Leg Length Difference
Common symptoms include:
- Localized hip pain is typically present on longer limbed side.
- Longer limbed leg typically has a flatter arch (which leads to a longer foot).
- Typically occurs from lower limb surgery or neurological conditions.
- Imbalance can sometimes be noted from spinal curvature.

Custom Orthotics Designed for Leg Length Discrepancy:
- Full length lift - applied to the shorter limb to balance offset.
- Heel padding - to reduce the effect of impact forces at the joints of the toes and up to the hip region.
- Customized arch support - dissipates pressure throughout the foot and knee.
- A greater arch support will be applied to the longer leg, as the longer limb will typically have a lower arch - as a natural way of shortening the leg to compensate for the discrepancy.
- Neutral casting - to align your feet and lower limbs in order to place them in the most optimal position for gait.
- Poron top-cover - to absorb shock up the leg, while wicking away sweat and bacteria.
