Simple biomechanics.How common is a short leg?
Some research indicates that 40–70% of people have some form of leg length discrepancy (LLD). The differences in leg length can range from a fraction of an inch to several inches.

This is one of the most leading causes of scoliosis in children that go untested as them mature into adult hood. And increases spinal instability in the future with potential back pain.
