Yes, due to the various problems linked to scolisos. Individuals with scolisos may have a slight (or not so slight) leg length differential. The longer leg hits the ground first - but it has not stretchabilty to it. It is harder to stretch, and muscles are tight, compacted and it can, as years go on, cause great discomfort, and with weaker muscle function in the longer leg.
