Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

Background: Previous studies have assumed that pronated foot may cause mechanical deviations of the lower limbs. Foot orthoses have been used for management to elevate the arch of the foot and alter the kinematic variables during walking. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine changes in lower limb kinematic variables during the subphases of the gait stance of individuals with highly pronated foot after wearing customized foot orthoses (CFO). Methods: Thirteen adults (five women and eight men, average age 23.3  3.0 years) with asymptomatic highly pronated foot were included in the study. Participants with Foot Posture Index …
