This patient has severe hypermobility due to ligament laxity, the most common reason why anyone presents at our sports podiatry clinic. As you can see, the carbon-fibre D.C.Wedge orthotic with an extrinsic forefoot varus extension allows a better midstance position than his own inherited ligaments at the end. Coupled with a decent shoe with moderate varus posting (in the end he chose the Nike Equalon 4 over the ASICS 2150), the other vid of P.N. running eliminated his tibialis posterior pain completely.
No, hypermobility is a completely separate problem. The two problems can occur at the same time though.
