Navicular Drop Test for Subtalar Pronation

The video tutorial explains the navicular drop test, a method to identify excessive subtalar pronation during weight bearing. It covers the test setup, including patient positioning and marking the navicular tuberosity. The tutorial details how to find the subtalar joint neutral position and measure the navicular drop in both non-weight and weight-bearing states. Finally, it discusses interpreting the results, highlighting the risks associated with excessive navicular drop, such as medial tibial stress syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and patellofemoral pain syndrome.
