Persistent inversion, raised arch and lateral contact
Go deeper
Open each part when you are ready.
Observed movement
- Persistent inversion, raised arch and lateral contact
Example mechanism
- Restricted mobility
- A movement pattern alone does not establish its cause.
Teaching narration
- Watch the rearfoot and the outer border of the foot during stance.
- In this example, the rearfoot remains more inverted, the medial arch stays raised, and contact is biased toward the lateral foot.
- There is less movement toward the more adaptable position shown in the comparison figure.
- A high-arched foot structure or restricted mobility can contribute to this pattern.
- The feature to recognize is the persistent position during weight bearing, rather than arch height alone.
- A high arch does not automatically indicate pain or impaired function.

Starting points for verification. Validated protocols are linked where available; clinical content has not yet been reviewed.
Learning objectives
- Identify the observed movement and its timing.
- Distinguish the observation from a possible contributor.
- Compare this feature with related deviations.
