A specific foot posture where the forefoot is adducted and supinated relative to the hindfoot. This means the front part of the foot is turned inward and the outer edge is raised. This deviation can occur in both static and dynamic positions, and is observed across different populations, from infants to adults.
Understanding and addressing this foot position is vital for maintaining proper biomechanics and preventing potential musculoskeletal issues. In dance, for example, such a posture can negatively affect balance, alignment, and increase the risk of injuries. Historically, recognition and correction of this alignment has been a focus in disciplines requiring precise foot placement, aiming to improve performance and reduce strain.
