This fascinating study in Dynamic Chiropractic uncovers the significant link between foot pronation and pelvic alignment. The authors reveal that when the calcaneus (heel bone)everts (pronates) under the talus, the talus shifts, causing internal rotation of the tibia and femur. This chain reaction culminates in anterior rotation of the os coxa (pelvic bone). The study, involving healthy subjects, demonstrated a significant positive correlation between induced foot pronation (using a heel lift) and this anterior pelvic tilt. This highlights that assessing and addressing foot pronation is crucial when evaluating anterior pelvic rotation. The researchers suggest future studies could explore if correcting foot posture can restore neutral pelvic alignment. This article underscores the foot's fundamental role as the foundation of posture, impacting structures all the way up the kinetic chain.
