Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There are numerous ways to measure limb length discrepancy in the clinical practice, although their reliability and accuracy are not well known. In our prospective diagnostic study we aimed to test the most popular methods and compare their results to EOS 3D reconstructions data.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Study group

18-30 year-old, healthy volunteers

* Age: 18-30 years
* BMI: \<30
* No previous surgery on lower limb or spine
* No known developmental disorder
* Without any orthopaedic complaint

EOS

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

EOS Micro Dose imaging will be done. SterEOS lower limb alignment reconstruction will be performed measuring the lim length.

Clinical limb length measurements

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Clinical measurement of both lower limbs' length, 3 times in 3 different days by 3 observers.

* bony markers position (heel contour, patella and medial malleolus) in resupinate and side position also
* tape measuring:

* Spina iliaca anterior superior - medial malleolus
* umbilicus - medial malleolus
* greater trochanter - lateral malleolus
* in standing, sitting, resupinate and side position
