leg length

Inseam determines this

Leg length is the measurement from hip to foot, or sometimes from crotch to ankle, used primarily in clothing sizing and medical contexts.

Tailors need leg length for proper trouser fitting: What's your leg length—do you need a 32-inch inseam?

In medicine, leg length discrepancy can cause gait problems or back pain.
