Let's continue exploring the movements of the foot! 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

Pronation is a natural movement of the foot that occurs during landing. . As the body weight is loaded onto it, the arch of the foot flattens out and the heel moves outward. . This movement increases elasticity of foot which helps to absorb shock and distribute the impact forces evenly through the foot and leg. . Supination is also natural and refers to movement in which the arch of the foot rises and the heel moves inward. . With this motion foot becomes more rigid, which helps to propel the bo
