NCT ID NCT05947591
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether running causes the foot to roll inward (pronate) more than walking in healthy adults who are not professional athletes. Researchers measured foot posture using simple tests before, during, and after one hour of walking or running. The goal is to understand how different activities affect foot mechanics in everyday exercisers.
