What is it?
If you overpronate the inward rotation of the lower leg is exaggerated. This, in turn, increases stresses on the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the foot, lower leg and knee as they try to limit the movement.
Overpronation usually causes overuse injuries, especially in runners. This is quite a common problem and can lead to a number of injuries, especially in runners, including:
- Shin splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Anterior compartment syndrome
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome
- Bunions (Hallux valgus)
- Achilles tendonitis
