It just came up in my mind but, feet helps with balance and stuff for people, with generally taller people having bigger feet than shorter people because of this (yes I know there are some short people with huge feet but not my point).

The average ratio is 6.6 inches of height for 1 inch of feet size, will people with small feet but already taller than said ratio suffer any problems from LL? for example a US size 8 person would be given an average height of roughly 166cm, if you were to go 170cm or above (don't get into the unsafe discussion stuff cause this is just hypothesis)  would the lengthened patient suffer balance issues, would it depend on their initial leg length proportion, or would they remain unaffected?

Quote from: Activatedx on May 29, 2019, 10:11:14 AMI don’t know what you’re talking about, majority of people 5’9/5’10 are size 9-10. I’m 166cm and size ten, I have a lot of  friends 180-185cm size 9-10

Just cause people around you are a certain measurement doesn't mean it's the majority. I'm taking stats from studies, and either way your reply isn't helpful or relevant to the question of if people lengthen to a height with smal feet if they'll have balance problems.
