Abstract:
The foot overpronation is termed as pronation persisting more than 25%of stance phase in a walking cycle, which may re-sult from some antenatal or postnatal conditions. Overpronation would lead to abnormal alignment of ankle, knee, pelvis and spine, and re-sult in a set of syndromes of chronic pain. The Navicular Drop Test and the Foot Posture Index are often used as the assessment tools, how-ever, there are several empirical ways for clinic. Foot orthoses, special shoes, taping and training of muscle strength are effective on overpro-nation as well as chronic pain.
