Walking, running, and jumping are among numerous activities that are affected by the health of your feet and their ability to balance the body. Depending on their current state, your feet can turn these simple motions into actions that affect your quality of life. For example, if you experience supination, placing weight on the feet without proper support can lead to developing troublesome aches and pains.
What is Supination?
Foot supination or under-pronation occurs when feet roll outwards, placing weight on the outside of the foot.
Supination of the foot is a rare occurrence, as less than 10 percent of people have the condition. It is usually found in people with high arches, often called a "cavus" foot.
People who supinate may experience an outward rotation of the knee and the pelvis may tilt back. The supinated foot is also a tighter, stiffer foot that doesn't flex and bend to accommodate variations in terrain. The poor absorption of shock and lack of flexibility cause biomechanical disorders, which lead to various problems throughout the body.
Similar to pronation, people with higher levels of foot supination may experience pain in the feet, knees, hips, back, shoulder and neck. Inversion ankle sprains, heel spurs, hammer toes and stress fractures are common in people who supinate. Orthotics may help relieve pain caused by a supinated foot.
