‘Overpronation’ … the quack is strong in this one …
…so is the Dunning-Kruger effect. I have written before on some of the nonsensical stuff that gets written on ‘overpronation’, but most of that is limited to the crankosphere blogosphere, and forums where you can just make stuff up and wish it was true and not provide any citations or evidence to back up the wishful […] Continue reading
Foot posture (‘overpronation’) and the risk for overuse injury
I hate re-litigating an issue that I have written about so many times before ( here , here , here , here , here , here and here ) but here goes anyway: Early in my career, ‘overpronation’ was widely considered a problem, but by the late eighties I started to say that ‘overpronation’ was not a problem and since then have been widely preaching that and even wrote an opinion piece back in 1998: ‘ Is Overpronation Really a Problem? ‘ because that is what the evidence was starting to show. The research was mixed, some studies showing it was and some studies showing that it wasn’t a problem Continue reading
Prescribing Running Shoes Based on Arch Height
I think we have known for a while that the data supporting a prescribing of running shoes based on the “pronation” paradigm is either lacking evidence or not supported, not withstanding the largely superficial understanding of the concepts and the superficial interpretation of the various studies and their implications. Continue reading

Time to recovery following a running injury
When you are sick you always want to know how long until go are going to get better. The same when you come down with a running overuse injury. Continue reading
Foot posture and Q-ankle and running-related injuries
Here is another one on foot posture and running injury. I previously looked at the nonsense surrounding “overpronation” ; how the media and the running blogs and forums fell for a hyped press release on how “overpronation” was not a risk factor ( when in reality they removed all the high risk “overpronators” from the study ); and then Continue reading
The concept of ‘Supination Resistance’
For some time now the link between ‘overpronation’ and overuse injury has been known to be tenuous, but the most recent evidence does suggest that there is a small, but statistically significant risk for injury ( but then that depends on how you want to spin that evidence and actually define what ‘overpronation’ even is, but lets not go that way for now ). Despite this, the concept of ‘overpronation’ (or lack of it) has been and unfortunately probably still is the prevailing paradigm for the marketing and prescription of running shoes Continue reading

Foot Pronation and Leg Length Differences
This is a disappointing article to write as I been going on about it for more than 15 yrs, have written about it before in several other places and so have a lot of other people, but the myth just won’t go away. Continue reading

The ‘abductory twist’ during gait
The abductory twist during gait is not a condition and not a diagnosis. It is an observation during gait ( specifically at the time of heel off or heel unweighting ) that is reasonably common and can be due to a number of underlying entities. Continue reading

Foot ‘Pronation’ and Anterior Knee Pain in Runners
Anterior knee pain or patellofemoral knee pain is one of the most commonest injuries seen in runners. Excessive foot pronation, either rightly or wrongly, has long been linked to it Continue reading
