Pronated
Ankles
What
does the term pronated ankle mean?
A pronated ankle is one, which has weakened and
fallen inward and is no longer in alignment with the rest
of the foot and lower leg reducing mobility. When in the sitting position, and
not under pressure, the foot and ankle shape appear normal. When
standing pressure is applied the weakened ankle falls inward,
the arch is flattened and the shape of the feet changes. In some
cases bunions develop.
-
An assessment of the feet, including footwear generally
worn, is needed.
-
The most effective treatment is custom made medical
grade footwear, or Orthoses fitted to general footwear
-
Some alternation to shoes, boots, sandals, slippers,
can also help.
