what motion at the foot is crucial for utilizing impulse to propel the body forward?
valgus
pronation
varus
supination
Pronation is the motion of the foot that allows for shock absorption and then transitions to a position where the foot can generate force to propel the body forward. Valgus and varus are deformities, not normal functional motions for propulsion. Supination is more about the opposite motion of pronation and not the key for forward - propulsion in the context of normal gait mechanics.
