Article Synopsis
- * A thorough review of literature from multiple databases led to the inclusion of thirteen studies analyzing the relationship between lower limb alignment and LBP, with over 100,000 participants.
- * Findings indicated a significant connection between increased foot pronation and LBP risk, along with moderate links to hip internal rotation; however, the variability in study designs makes it difficult to reach a solid conclusion, suggesting a need for more rigorous research.
Background: Individuals with pronated feet often experience altered foot biomechanics, leading to increased risk of lower limb injuries. Step width modification has been proposed as a potential intervention to improve foot alignment during gait.
Research Question: Does modifying step width influence rearfoot eversion and medial longitudinal arch angle (MLAA) in individuals with pronated feet during walking and running?
Methods: Twenty individuals with pronated feet underwent analysis during walking and running on treadmill, maintaining increased or decreased step width using real-time visual feedback.
Foot pronation is a prevalent condition known to contribute to a range of lower extremity injuries. Numerous interventions have been employed to address this issue, many of which are expensive and necessitate specific facilities. Gait retraining has been suggested as a promising intervention for modifying foot pronation, offering the advantage of being accessible and independent of additional materials or specific time.

We aimed to systematically review the literature on the effect of gait-training and biofeedback on biomechanical parameters in individuals with CAI and conduct a meta-analysis.
Methods: We searched four databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase from their inception through 30th June 2022.
