Several years I published the results of a research study that linked gravity drive pronation (hyperpronation) to changes in the frontal plane position of the cranial bones.
The past two years I have been investigating the possible link between gravity drive pronation and CNS function. I just completed a preliminary qEEG study and substantiates this link. Abnormal foot function changes brain wave activity.
Comments or questions?

We, as Podiatrists, are far too cavalier in the use of orthotics. Many different theories have been presented that form the basis in the use of a mind bending number of different insoles.
This needs to stop. We must exercise discretion whenever we put anything underneath the foot that changes foot function.
This recent study has graphically demonstrated that a change in the Plantar Pressure Gradient changed neural activity. This tocsin must not be ignored.
Podiatrist must understand that changes in foot function impact the entire body and act accordingly.
I am disappointed. I had hoped this question would have initiated a robust discussion among healthcare professionals, and more specifically, Podiatrists.
I posted this thread on the Podiatry forum. Not one comment!!
Great viewpoint about the use of insole.
And I would like to read your paper. How can I access it?
Thanks
