Description: Excessive supination. As with excessive pronation, the condition may be congenital or as a result of a neurological disorder. The foot points inwards (pigeon toed), has a higher arch, and the heel rolled out so that the patient walks on the outer part of the foot. Excessive supination can lead to a host of problems; from the toes, legs, knees, hip and back.
Treatment: In mild cases it may be possible to control supination using correct footwear. Often an orthosis may be required. This is a device which is placed in the shoe which holds the foot near to, or in it's ideal position during the mid-stance phase of walking or running.
