PELVIC LEVELLER

The Boyner Clinic Pelvic Level Device can be the clinician’s most valuable tool for quick and accurate assessment of a leg length discrepancy. Limb length imbalance is determined by pressing the expandable wings of the tool onto the crest of the pelvic bones and then elevating the short limb until the bubble on the level is centered.  Leg length discrepancies are very common in the population but often not diagnosed. The Boyner Clinic Pelvic level device quickly and accurately determines if the pelvis is horizontally in plane. By shimming up the short limb, a measurement for determining the amount of correction can be determined. As a screening tool, the Boyner Clinic Pelvic Level can help the practioner to quickly screen patients for a condition which may indicate an anatomic or functional leg length discrepancy.
