Factors making runners more susceptible to injuries were identified with a comparative study between a healthy control group (216) and runners (66) suffering from overuse pathology. On static and dynamic footprint, the angles alpha0 (static) and alpha1 (dynamic) between heel and forefoot have been measured. Analysis showed that the injured subjects have a more pronated foot than control group subjects. These results suggest that the pronating foot configuration would be an injury risk factor.
