You need to understand your feet! Flat feet, foot pronation, and foot imbalances can lead to all kinds of pain:
- Knee pain
- Hip pain
- Back pain
- Yes even Shoulder pain
Pronation & Stability
The Pronation/Stability Index™ score appears on the clinical report that is produced when your feet are scanned by our 3D machine.The Pronation/Stability Index™ is an algorithm based on 16 different measurements. Taken from a laser scan of the feet, the index indicates the amount of arch collapse. The higher the number, the more the collapse.
The index reveals the severity of pronation/stability of your feet, which can be anywhere from optimal to severe. An index of 102, for example, is a moderate pronation/instability. Untreated imbalances at any level can lead to chronic problems.
