Overpronation
Pronation is a normal function of the foot. It is the inward motion between the ankle bone and outward motion of the rest of the foot bones, which occurs naturally when the foot hits the ground and weight is applied. Pronation is a good thing; it cushions the foot and the entire body during the walking cycle. It keeps the foot and the ankles protected from hard impact and uneven ground surface below.
Overpronation occurs when too much pronation is present — in other words, when the inward motion is excessive and goes past the healthy point necessary for its intended functions. This excessive motion is caused by a misalignment between the ankle bone and the hindfoot bones, called talotarsal dislocation. It creates an imbalance of forces and weight distribution in the foot that propagates throughout the entire body and causes repetitive damage to joints, ligaments, and bone structures.
Overpronation can affect people of all ages and it is particularly problematic for patients with high levels of activity and exercise because the unbalanced strain and excessive forces can cause serious damage with every step taken. This problem is present at birth and it does not resolve on its own. It is an internal condition caused by talotarsal dislocation and it can only be properly corrected by stabilizing the ankle bone on the hindfoot bones internally.
HyProCure is a minimally invasive internal solution that permanently and instantly resolves talotarsal dislocation, and therefore corrects overpronation by restoring normal levels of motion in the foot.
