Incidence of Hyperpronation

Dear All,

I would like to have your thoughts on the term ''OVER''PRONATION.

Do you think it is wrongly used? Why when the STJ axis is deviated medially we can't call it pronation and overpronation?

Do you have any studies to share with me who describe an incidence between hyper/overpronation and pathologies?

Do you think on the video of Gerselassie on youtube called Overpronation, the truth: the STJ is blocked and there is no movement and no deviation of the axis of the STJ during the run? I thought I can see clearly a medial deviation of the STJ axis wich I call overpronation when it is excessive regarding my norms. But some say there is no movement because no axis and the STJ is blocked in a pronated position.

Thank you for your replies

Sorry I'm french! I'm doing my best with the English

 

Hi Val,

I think you'll find existing discussion on this topic on the forums here. I've done a quick search and copied a couple of links for you:

Hope that's helpful.

Hello Josh, thank you for your links. Unfortunately they don't reply to my question. I mean in those articles the authors still use and continue to use ''HYPERPRONATION'' in brackets. I mean they start there article saying hyperpronation should not exist but then keep using it in ''brackets'' and describing causes or consequences of hyperpronation....

First I would like to understand exactly what PRONATION means for Americain is it triplanar: including eversion, abduction and dorsiflection? Cause in FRANCE Eversion is triplanar and pronation is only one composite of eversion!

If we can't talk of HYPERPRONATION does it make more sense to talk about OVER EVERSION?

Do you have any recent studies: Using the terms Overpronation or Hyperpronation and showing an incidence of hyperponation on injuries???
