How would you treat this Medial Knee Pain?

The Picture above: shows a pronated foot with internal leg rotation, medial knee strain, lateral knee compression and an abnormal Q angle. The range of motion at the first metatarsal phalangeal joint is less than 20 degrees dorsiflexion and the rearfoot is everted. The foot is in a weight bearing relaxed calcaneal stance.

 The Answer can be simple:

The Picture above: shows a foot with the Sub Talar Joint in its “Neutral Position” with no internal leg rotation and correctly aligned knee. The entire limb is fully weight bearing during the assessment.

This foot has a rearfoot varus (inverted position) of 6 degrees, with 2 degrees forefoot valgus (everted to rearfoot or ground) and a 3mm plantarflexed first ray. This allowed a normal (over 60 degrees) range of hallux dorsiflexion at the metatarsal phalangeal joint, whilst fully weight bearing.

 The Dynastat has been used to align the Sub Talar and Mid Tarsal Joints, which creates external leg rotation. The Dynastat can also be used to align the foot, hip, lower back and check first ray function (Windlass effect).
