PRONATION
GAIT CYCLE |
 |
 |
excessive pressure at the base of ‘great toe’ upon toe-off; 5th toe twisted and contracted
|
 |
midfoot torsion causing foot and ankle to roll inward;
most often elongation of longitudinal arch;
an extreme case is flat foot
|
 |
quick lateral strike; then reactive medial weight transfer thus causing excessive inward heel roll. |
|
|
|
CAUSES
|
- Gait,
footwear, bone structure, hereditary, muscle and tendon
misalignment, etc
|
|
SYMPTOMS
|
- Knock
