A shortened leg is the result of a leg being, well, shorter. Seems pretty intrinsic to me, unless someone surgically altered it. Hmm, maybe that's an 'extrinsic' factor?

I think it could also be considered extrinsic if it was altered through surgery.

Extrinsic factors are things outside the body, so this has to be an intrinsic factor. Easy peasy!

That's correct! Intrinsic factors like muscle imbalances or structural abnormalities can definitely affect posture.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be B) extrinsic because it's something external affecting the posture.
