Which pronator are you? New perspectives from an unsupervised clustering approach in running.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Excessive pronation is still considered as a factor partially involved in the running-related injury risk despite inconsistent evidence. The between-runner variability and the way excessive pronation is quantified are potentially involved issues. The purpose of this study is to highlight the different functional pronation movements in runners to be able to propose suitable and up-to-date excessive pronation thresholds. Methods: 234 (overground) and 190 (treadmill) recreational runners ran at a self-selected speed while the lower limb dynamic pronation was measured with skin-mounted markers to calculate seven common pronation-related kinematic variables of the rearfoot and the tibia. Results: These variables were shown to provide different, complementary,
