One hundred seventeen patients with hemihypoplasia and discrepancy of lower limbs length of 1 - 3 cm were examined during the period from 2008 through 2013. Series of functional tests to evaluate conditional and coordination skills as well as stabilometry in European and American variants were performed. All patients demonstrated frontal postural disorders, marked weakness of the abdominal muscles and muscles of the back that resulted caused postural imbalance that resulted in formation of myofascial trigger points and development specific pain syndrome. Stabilometry and coordination tests results showed the predominance of proprioceptive body balance control over the visual one.
