It is explained why one might expect a small violation in sum rules for the twist-3 distribution functions $g_T(x)$ and $h_L(x)$ when the sum-rules are applied to $x\neq 0$ data only. The non-perturbative predictions are studied in the context of a one-loop model.8 pages, Invited talk at 6th INT/Jlab Workshop on Exclusive and Semiexclusive Processes at High Momentum Transfer, Newport News, VA, 19-23 May 1999High Energy Physics - PhenomenologySum rules for higher-twist parton distributionstext
