Abstract Summary
A pronated foot posture has been associated with overuse running injuries. To manage symptoms, foot orthoses have been widely used in symptomatic runners with a pronated foot posture. This study examined the immediate effects of foot orthoses with forefoot corrections on forefoot kinematics during running in these runners. A total of 9 symptomatic runners with pronated feet participated in this study. Multi-segment foot kinematic data during running was measured using motion capture system with the Oxford Foot Model. The results showed that at least one pair of foot orthoses with a forefoot correction reduced the forefoot peak abduction during running compared to the shoe only condition. However, the foot kinematic responses to foot orthoses were subject-specific.
