Objective: : To investigate the slope influence on the maximal subtalar pronation in submaximal running speeds.
Methods: : Sixteen endurance runners participated of a running economy (RE) test in a treadmill with different slopes (+1%, +5%, +10%, +15%). For each slope a 4-minute run was performed with no rest break for the purpose of measuring the magnitude of kinematic variables by means of a high frequency video camera positioned in a frontal-posterior plane of the individual.
Results: : No significant differences were verified in maximal subtalar pronation between legs and between the slopes adopted, showing that changes of running technique due to modifications of slope aren't enough to modify the behavior of maximum subtalar pronation.
Conclusion: : The subtalar pronation is independent of slope, which may be influenced by other intervening variables. Level of Evidence II, Diagnostic Study.

Background: Pediatric flexible flatfoot (FFF) is a common condition characterized by the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch, which can lead to pain and functional impairment in a subset of patients. Subtalar arthroereisis (AR) is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects FFF by limiting excessive pronation of the subtalar joint. Two main techniques exist: endosinotarsal AR, which involves placing an implant in the sinus tarsi, and exosinotarsal AR, which uses a screw external to the sinus tarsi.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines differences in foot deformities, specifically Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD) with and without Hallux Valgus (HV), using weightbearing computed tomography in patients aged 18 and over.
- Findings show that PCFD with HV exhibits greater angles and pronation at key joints compared to PCFD without HV, indicating significant structural variations.
- The results highlight important associations between HV deformity and specific foot angles, suggesting a need for targeted clinical assessment and treatment based on these deformities.
The Impact of Postural and Anthropometric Properties of Foot and Ankle on Physical Performance and Ambulation of Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Background: Abnormal foot anthropometry and posture of patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) can be considered as possible risk factors for performance and ambulation. It was aimed to examine the effects of foot posture and anthropometric characteristics, which deteriorated from the early period, on ambulation and performance of patients with DMD.
Methods: The foot arch height (FAH), the metatarsal width (MW), subtalar pronation angle, and ankle limitation degree (ALD) were evaluated to determine the foot anthropometric characteristics of the patients.

Introduction: The prone foot posture has a negative effect on postural stability, function, and knee valgus, but to our knowledge, the contribution of the degree of pronation has not been examined.
Methods: 39 participants aged 18-40, with Foot Posture Index (FPI) scores between 6-12 and without any pain complaints were included. Participants with 6-9 points were included in the pronation group (PG) (n = 19), and participants with 10-12 points were included in the hyperpronation group (HPG) (n = 20).

Background: Non insertional Achilles tendinopathy [AT] is a degenerative condition that is prevalent in runners. 30% have no preceding history and many runners do not develop AT. Overuse, pronation, and compromised blood supply are hypothesised as causal.
