Effect of linear running velocity on the increase on foot pronation

The Foot, 2019
The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavior of foot pronation at different percentages of peak velocity in 23 physically active men. An ergospirometric test was carried out with an initial velocity of 9kmh-1 and increments of 1kmh-1 until exhaustion.

Measuring foot pronation using RFID sensor networks

Proceedings of the 7th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems, 2009
Running efficiency is an important factor to consider in order to avoid injury. In particular, foot pronation, the angle of the foot as it hits the ground, is a common cause for many types of injuries among runners. Though pronation is common, diagnosing pronation is difficult and imprecise.

The biomechanical effects of pronated foot function on gait. An experimental study

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2020
The relationship between foot kinematics and the development of lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) has been the focus of recent attention. However, most studies evaluated static foot type and not dynamic foot function. The purpose was to compare lower limb and foot kinematics, and plantar pressures during gait in physically active ...

DOES FOOT PRONATION CAUSES VASCULAR CONSTRICTION?

British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2017
BackgroundThe most popular hypothesis of the etiology of Achilles tendinopathy suggests that excessive pronation causes conflicting rotational motions, leading to a vascular constriction of the Achilles tendon, described as the “whipping phenomenon” (Clementet al., 1984).

The Role of Impact Forces and Foot Pronation: A New Paradigm

Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine, 2001
This article discusses the possible association between impact forces and foot pronation and the development of running-related injuries, and proposes a new paradigm for impact forces and foot pronation.The article is based on a critical analysis of the literature on heel-toe running addressing kinematics, kinetics, resultant joint movements and forces,

Gait ground reaction force characteristics of low back pain patients with pronated foot and able-bodied individuals with and without foot pronation

Journal of Biomechanics, 2016
The link between gait parameters and foot abnormalities in association with low back pain is not well understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of excessive foot pronation as well as the association of LBP with excessive foot pronation on the GRF components during shod walking.Forty-five subjects were equally divided into a

An Assessment of Strapping Techniques Commonly Used for Pronated Foot Deformities

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2009
Background: This study investigated the effects of two low-Dye and two high-Dye strapping techniques that are commonly used to treat pronatory sequelae. Methods: Plantar pressure distribution in normal adults with a pronated foot type was assessed with a commercially available pressure platform system.

The Damage and Treatment of Foot Pronation

Theoretical and Natural Science
Foot pronation is a motional pattern, defined as the inward rolling of the foot while walking or running, can trigger a variety of health problem in lower limb, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and knee pain. This disorder alters natural biomechanics by disturbing the line of force in lower-limb and putting unnecessary strain on both

Impact of Pronated Foot on Energetic Behavior and Efficiency During Walking

Gait and Posture
The longitudinal arch of the foot acts like a spring during stance and contributes to walking efficiency. Pronated foot characterized by a collapsed medial longitudinal arch may have the impaired spring-like function and poor walking efficiency. However, the differences in the energetic behavior during walking between individuals with pronated foot and

Inversion or Pronation of the Foot following Thalamotomy for Parkinson's Disease

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1978
The author has observed inward turning of the foot of 2 parkinsonian patients following thalamotomy on the contralateral side. In one instance, the surgery was unilateral and in the other bilateral. The anatomical position of the involved lesions was in the region of the complex of the ventrocaudal nuclei (ventralis postero-lateralis).
