What is the pronation?

pronation are normal movements that the leg causes to absorb the impact of walking or running. It occurs as the heel hits the ground and the leg disperses the impact, stretches and flattens the arch as the leg rolls in. Supination is the opposite movement of pronation. The leg has exaggerated or rolls on the outer edge to help with stability while walking or running. However, when the foot arch remains flat and the leg rolls too much, it can have excessive pronation or excessive development. This health condition may be the result of constant stress on legs and wearing shoes that lack sufficient support of the arch.

Excessive pronation causes the arch of the leg to collapse, which in turn causes the leg to turn out. A person with excessive pronation generally walks unusually, on the inner edge of the foot. This emphasizes and balances ligaments, muscles and tendons in the foot, leg and even back. Finally, this misalignment brings muscle inefficiency, reduce speed and perseverance while walking or running.

undiagnosed and untreated, excessive pronation can lead to serious injury to legs and lower body. The most common injuries include flat legs, weak arches, buunion, corn, calluses, plantar facsitus (Pat), Achill tendonitis (tendon pain), frequent ankle bras and knee and knee and back.

There are two general methods for recognizing excessive pronation:

1. Test Achilles tendon:

Stand straight with your back to the mirror and allow you to look at your leg and leg from behind. On a normal leg, the Achilles tendon runs directly down the foot to the heel. With excessive pronation, the tendon runs directly down the leg, but turns out when they arrive at the heel. You are an ankle bone protruding significantly compared to your outer ankle.

2. Test used shoes:

Place a few of your most used running shoes on the table and his fingers are pointing from you. Squat to the eye level. If your shoes lean down dOut, then your legs are too pronounced. You can also look at the outer soles of the shoes. Extreme wear along the ball balls also shows pronation.

Once diagnosed, excessive pronation can be treated in several ways:

1. Ortotic inserts:

orthotic inserts are devices that are located inside the shoes to provide added stability and arc support. They are available over -the -counter or can be tailored to suit individual needs. Octicular orthotic inserts help reduce minor discomfort. Ortotic custom inserts make more control of leg movement, evenly expand the weight over the leg and adapt to pain or worsening.

2. Proper shoes:

good shoes with fixed, multi-perch medium and straight or semi-rarely lasting restrictions on excessive pronation. When measuring the most suitable size of the shoe, length, width and depth of the foot. Footwear with a fixed heel and strong medium andarc support.

3. Exercise:

Regular stretching of legs, ankles and legs ensures overall flexibility and elasticity. These exercises increase blood flow and reduce extra stress and tightness caused by excessive pronation.

While the above recommendations are generally useful, qualified podiatrists or orthopedic doctors can propose surgical attention in cases of serious excessive pronation.
