"Feet Turn Out" Breakdown

During an Overhead Squat Assessment feet turn out is a sign of lower extremity dysfunction associated with excessive tibial external rotation (and potentially restriction in dorsiflexion). During the Overhead Squat Assessment, the individual will be instructed to bring their arms overhead, 2nd toe under the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), and knees tracking over the 2nd toe as they bend at the hips and knees, performing a squat to the point of pain-free range of motion. The assessor will note any changes in foot position during this assessment.
