[Dikfeld]

The last test is the navicular drop and drift test and clinically would very rarely be performed. Its been shown in studies to not be very reliable and most physicians will be able to tell what is wrong with the foot simple by visual examination

[Stiiiniii]

Some authors says more than 10mm and other authors says more than 15mm is an overpronation.

[klomjom]

The last test, how many mm does it have to be to say its an overpronator?

[Stiiiniii]

Yes, the exercises strenghten the muscles on the inside of the foot, which will lift the arch if you have flat feet.

[Darknessfailure]

is this for improving the arch of flat feet ?
