Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
While using shoe lifts to correct discrepancy is the easiest conservative intervention for LLD, there are still many controversies on how much height should be added clinically and academically. The optimal height should be added depends on feedbacks from users and gait performance. The best gait performance can be measured from kinematic performance of center mass of body during walking. Therefore, this project wants to compare treatment responses between two kinds of shoe lift height correction methods for LLD: given 80% discrepancy in shoe lift height correction through triple view of x-ray and given optimal shoe lift height correction through analyzing kinematic performance of center mass of body.

80% discrepancy lift height correction
Each participant will be given 80% discrepancy shoe lift height correction through analyzing kinematic performance of center mass of body and will be required to wear the lifts in their shoes when they are walking or standing for 6 month.

optimal lift height correction
Each participant will be given the optimal shoe lift height correction through analyzing kinematic performance of center mass of body and will be required to wear the lifts in their shoes when they are walking or standing for 6 month.
