@jpgloria.dpt: Should you focus on fixing foot pronation/flat feet? - First, lets talk about the role of foot pronation. - This occurs during the landing to help better absorb the impact from the ground. - However, as you progress through the running cycle, the foot now has to play another role. - If it stays more mobile/pronated during the propulsion phase, it will not be an efficent structure to generate force through - This is why goes into foot supination. - This occurs as the structures in the foot tighten up, so you have a solid base to generate force through. - So from a biomechanical standpoint, maybe foot pronation is not what is limiting your performance, but rather the lack of the foot's ability to move into supination as you run. - And, instead of worrying about pronation, it may be better to focus on ways to improve your foot's ability to move through both pronation and supination. - #Running #pronation #gaitanalysis #runningtips
