Introduction[edit | edit source]
The feiss line is a line that is drawn and extends from the first metatarsophalangeal joint, goes over the navicular tubercle up to the apex of the medial malleolus. It may be defined as an imaginary line that extends straight from the medial malleolus through the navicular bone to the centre of the head of the first metatarsal[1]. Alterations in the angulation created by the line either before or during weight bearing is indicative of excessive pronation of the foot. The foot is considered hyperpronated when feiss angle is between 30° and 90° while the foot is bearing weight[2].
