I'm fairly new to the profession and was wondering if anybody has a reference or two that describes how to determine/interpret a person's Foot Posture Index score?
As well, does anyone have a reference that describes navicular drop/drift and how it is measured/interpreted clinically?

For those of us that do not have access to JAPMA etc, would anyone be able to spare a few moments to offer a brief explanation of the navicular drop/drift test?
1. how it is measured?
2. how this measurement is interpreted clinically?
