The main instruments to assess foot eversion have some limitations (especially for field
applications), and therefore it is necessary to explore new methods. The objective was to
determine the relationship between foot eversion and skin temperature asymmetry of the
foot sole (difference between medial and lateral side), using infrared thermography. Twenty-

The main instruments to assess foot eversion have some limitations (especially for field applications), and therefore it is necessary to explore new methods. The objective was to determine the relationship between foot eversion and skin temperature asymmetry of the foot sole (difference between medial and lateral side), using infrared thermography. Twenty-two runners performed a running test lasting 30 min. Skin temperature of the feet soles was measured by infrared thermography before and after running. Foot eversion during running was measured by kinematic analysis. Immediately after running, weak negative correlations were observed between thermal symmetry of the rearfoot and eversion at contact time, and between thermal symmetry of the entire plantar surface of the foot and maximum eversion during stance phase ( and in both cases). Regarding temperature variations, weak correlations were also observed ( and ). The weak correlations observed in this study suggest that skin temperature is not related to foot eversion. However, these results open interesting future lines of research.
