Pronation of the feet. Computer artwork showing the normal position of the feet (left), with weight evenly distributed, and a pronated position of the feet (right), where the heels are rotated inwards. Pronation is used to absorb shock when walking and running. Over-pronation can cause injury and should be corrected with insoles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate mechanics of pronation in our feet. The computer artwork presents a striking contrast between the normal position of the feet on the left and the pronated position on the right. In the normal position, weight is evenly distributed, ensuring optimal stability while walking or running. However, in over-pronation, as depicted on the right side of this image, we observe an inward rotation of the heels. Pronation plays a crucial role in shock absorption during locomotion. It allows our bodies to adapt to various surfaces and reduces stress on our joints. Nonetheless, excessive pronation can lead to injuries and discomfort that should be addressed promptly. The simplicity of this white background enhances focus solely on these anatomical details—feet and legs—as they undergo rotation. This illustration serves as a valuable resource for understanding foot biomechanics and promoting healthy movement patterns. By shedding light on this biological process through their remarkable artwork, Science Photo Library emphasizes both education and prevention when it comes to foot health. Whether you are studying anatomy or seeking ways to correct over-pronation with insoles, this image provides valuable insights into one's own body mechanics without any commercial agenda attached.
