What is varus (supinated) foot?
The supinating foot is one where the foot floor looks inward, supporting the outer rim and the last fingers. It is usually associated with a lateralization of legs and knees.
Los pies en supinación que son "flexibles" se corrigen fácilmente, mientras que los pies en supinación que son "rígidos" son mucho más difíciles de arreglar. La flexibilidad o rigidez de su supinación puede ser genética o puede ser un factor de la edad.
What is varus (supinated) foot?
At supinator feet the body weight rests on the outer foot. This gives rise to excessive weight and pressure in this area, resulting in different lesions.
In addition to the involvement of the foot bones, soft tissues such as ligaments, muscles and tendons also tend to decrease their functionality since the fibers are stretched or remain under constant tension. For these reasons, it tends to cause shin pain, joint instability, recurrent injuries, such as ankle sprains, foot bone fractures (stress fracture), or plantar fasciitis.
Through a study of the footpath and a biomechanical study of the march.
Among the causes of supinator foot we can highlight: congenital deformities, poor posture, muscle weakness of all the muscles of the leg, ankle and foot and running for a long time.
Treatment depends on the severity of the case. The main objective is to correct supination to prevent future injuries.
For this, it is very important to carry out a study of the footprint and a bio-mechanical study of the march.
With these two tests we can make personified templates, to achieve a normal footprint.
This treatment must be complemented with specific exercises prescribed by a physiotherapist in order to relax the muscle groups that are shortened and strengthen the muscles that are weakened.
