Diagnostic imaging shows that lower extremity dysmetria can cause scoliosis, low back pain and spondylolysis. Curves which are initially of mild-degree, non-structural and mobile, may subsequently, according to the load distribution, diminish, remain stationary or progress and become structural. The scoliosis is the fixing of a scoliotic attitude. Furthermore, in dysmetric adults the asymmetric overload at the lumbosacral level causes premature degenerative disease of the disc-somatic and the interapophyseal joints of the penultimate and/or ultimate vertebral tripod, as well as of the sacroiliac joints, which is capable of producing low back pain. Finally, in dysmetric subjects a correlation between asymmetric overload at the lumbosacral level and spondylolysis of L4 and L5 was observed.
