Background Dynamic foot function is considered a risk factor for lower limb overuse injuries
including Achilles tendinopathy, shin pain, patellofemoral pain and stress fractures.
However, no single source has systematically appraised and summarised the literature to
evaluate this proposed relationship. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate
dynamic foot function as a risk factor for lower limb overuse injury. Methods A systematic
search was performed using Medline, CINAHL, Embase and SportDiscus in April 2014 to …

Background Static measures of foot posture are regularly used as part of a clinical
examination to determine the need for foot level interventions. This is based on the premise
that pronated and supinated foot postures may be risk factors for or associated with lower
limb injury. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates foot posture (measured
statically) as a potential risk factor for lower limb overuse injuries. Methods A systematic
search was performed using Medline, CINAHL, Embase, SportDiscus in April 2014, to …
