Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to examine the kinematic parameters of individuals with pronated foot compared with individuals with normal foot

Description:

Individual with and without pronated foot will be recruited. Pronation will be defined according to navicular drop test. Inclusion criteria : individual who run on a regular basis at least 3 times per week for one hour, can run 5 Km in less then 40 minutes, without past injuries during the last year of Achilles tendon or other lower extremities pain.

Individuals will be asked to run for 5 Km in self selected velocity. The Milestone pod device will be used to monitor kinematic parameters.

functional test will be conducted before and after the running as follows: heel raise test and one leg hop for distance test.
