`
`Whatis Pronation and Supination?
`
`Identify over pronation and supination and choosethe right shoes to support yourfoot
`type.
`‘by Brad Walker| FirstPublishedApri27, 2004 | UpdatedApel7, 2019
`
`In this issue we are going to look at some common foot problems that not only
`affect athletes, but also affect the general population.
`The two conditions we are going to concentrate on in this issue are pronation
`and supination. These two terms refer to the foots natural rolling
`movement while walking or running. This motion is sometimes called the
`running gait, and is described at the New Balance web site as...
`“A unique set ofactions and reactions that yourfootperforms while in
`
`motion to support, cushion and balance yourbody.”
`
`
`What is Pronation?
`Pronation refers to the inward roll ofthe foot during normal motion and occurs as the outer edge
`of the heel strikes the ground and the foot rolls inward and flattens out. A moderate amount of
`pronation is required for the foot to function properly, however damage and injury can occur during
`excessive or over pronation. When over pronation does occurthe foot arch flattens out and
`stretches the muscles, tendons and ligaments underneath the foot.
`The picture on the right (used from the Diversified Integrated Sports Clinic web site) shows a view
`of the right foot as if looking atit from behind. As you can see in the picture the ankle is over-
`pronating or rolling inwardly.

`
`
`
`
`
`What Is Supination?
`Supination (or under-pronation)is the opposite of pronation and refers to the outward roll ofthe
`foot during normal motion. A natural amount of supination occurs during the push-off phase of the
`Tunning gait as the heel lifts off the ground and the forefoot and toes are used to propel the body
`forward. However, excessive or over supination (outward rolling) places a large strain on the
`muscles and tendons thatstabilize the ankle, and canlead to the ankle rolling completely over,
`Tesulting in an ankle sprain or total ligament rupture.
`This time, in the second picture to the right (used from the Diversified Integrated Sports Clinic web
`
`site), the foot is over-supinating or rolling outwardly.
`
`Symptoms
`Over pronation and supination may cause a number of aliments thataffect the foot, ankle, knees, hips and back. Some ofthe more
`common symptoms of over pronation and supination are listed below.
`+ Plantar fasciitis and arch pain
`+ Ankie sprains
`+ Shin splints
`+ Achilles tendinitis
`+ Heel pain
`+ Flat feet
`+ Patellofemoral pain syndrome and other knee conditions
`+ Hip pain
`+ Back pain
`
`Prevention and Treatment
`Pronation and supination are bio-mechanical problems, and are best treated and prevented with orthotic inserts. But before you run
`ut to buy orthotics it makes sense to get the right advice on footwear, and the best advice | can give you,Is to go and see a qualified
`podiatrist for a complete foot-strike and running gait analysis. They will be able to tell you if there are any concerns regarding the way
`your running gait Is functioning.
`After your running gait has been analyzed, have your podiatrist, or competentsports footwear sales person recommend a number of
`shoes thatsuit your requirements. Good quality footwear will go a long wayin helping to preventpronation and supination. And,if
`needed,invest in a pair of orthotic inserts to further prevent over pronation or over supination.
`
`Choosingthe right shoes
`That brings usto the next point. What should you be looking for when purchasing a new pair of shoes?

`1. Choose a shoethat suites your running gait and foot type. Money spentat the podiatrist now,
`runninggait analysis, will save you much heart-ache and discomfort
`later. Having a shoethat suits yourfoottypeis the best
`preventionfor injury and pain.
`2. When having your shoes fitted have both feet measuredto ensure you get the most appropriate size, and remember, yourfeet
`
`are three dimensional. The lenath of vourfootis onlv one part of a properfittina. measure vourfeet for width and depthto aet a bette

`3. Whenpurchasing footwear make your purchasein the later half of the day. Your feet will swell during the normal courseof a
`day, so avoid making a purchasein the morning as you may findthat your new shoesarehalf asize too small by the afternoon
`4. Whentrying on newshoesalways wearthe socksthat youwill be using with your new shoes

`Neverpurchasetightfitting shoesin the hopethat they will stretch or wear-inover time
`
`Apart from good shoesandorthotic inserts, what else can you do?
`
`1.
`A thoroughand correct warm upwill help to prepare the muscles andtendonsfor anyactivity or sport. Without a proper warm up
`
`the muscles and tendons aroundyourfeet, ankles and lowerlegswill be tight andstiff. There will be limited bloodflowto the lower
`
`legs, whichwill
`result in a lack of oxygenandnutrients for those muscles
`
`Strengthening and conditioning the mu:
`2.
`s of the lower leg (including balancing exercises) will also help to pre
`lower log Injurics.
`3.
`Flexible muscles are extremely importantin the prevention of most ankle andlowerleginjuries, When muscles and tendonsare
`flexible and supple,
`they are able to move andperformwithoutbeing overstretched.
`If however, your muscles and tendonsaretight
`andstiff,
`it is quite easy for those muscles and tendons to be pushed beyondtheir natural range of motion. To keep your muscles and
`ter ions flexible and supple,
`
`it is important to incorporate stretchesthat
`will help to correct your biomechanical
`inefficiencies and
`imbalances.
