Longer Leg Illusion. Excess fat on your legs can make them look shorter, but when you lose fat, you create the illusion of longer legs. Muscle-building activities that create definition in your legs can make the illusion of longer legs even more powerful. Moreover, sometimes exercise improves posture and reduces muscle tension.
Simply put, this is a condition where one leg is either structurally or functionally longer than the other. This condition can occur at several possible levels. A short tibia (leg bone) or femur (thigh bone) are good examples of structural leg length difference. An arthritic or abnormally-functioning hip, knee, ankle or foot are good examples of a functional leg length discrepancy.
