Today, we're focusing on pronation and supination.👣 The key movements of the ankle joint include plantar flexion and dorsiflexion (in the sagittal plane), abduction and adduction (in the transverse plane), and inversion and eversion (in the frontal plane).💡 Combinations of these movements result in three-dimensional motions known as pronation and supination: 🔸Pronation - a triplane movement combining eversion, abduction, and dorsiflexion. Th

The foot has two primary movements: supination and pronation.��Limitations in one or both of these movements helps categorize foot presentation into 3 different types.��Each foot presentation has its own needs to restoring full function.��A moderate foot can only supinate. Restoring pronation allows the foot to express both primary movements. Exercises that keep the foot flat while bending the knee help restore pronation. Split squatting is great for this. A flat foot can only pronate. Restoring
