Following on from the interesting discussions regarding foot
biomechanics of late, I was wondering if anybody has any good
references which clearly link foot pronation with pathology?
We are so often told (particularly by people who have insoles to
sell) that pronation leads to pain, yet it is such a common foot
position...
Have there been any randomised controlled trials which
demonstrate that correction of pronation leads to an improved
outcome for any conditions?
The literature abounds with articles about measuring foot
biomechanics, and about anecdotal reports of beneficial effects of
modifying biomechanics. Sadly, I couldn't find a single article on
Medline which supported their use with evidence from a
randomised controlled trial.
Regards,
Peter
