There is research on its effects in the calcaneus, but there is little research on the navicular. More research is needed with the use of RVW due to the relationship that exists between the position of the navicular and the risk of suffering an injury. Objectives: this study sought to understand how RVW can influence the kinematics of the navicular bone, measuring their movement with the 6 SpaceFastrak system. Methods: a total of 60 subjects participated in the study. Two sensors were used to measure the movement of the calcaneus and navicular using RVWs as compared in the barefoot position in a static way. Results: there were statistically significant differences, the use of RVWs caused changes in the navicular bone, with subjects reaching the maximum varus movement with the use of RVW 7 mm of 1.35 \u00b1 2.41\u00b0 (p &lt; 0.001), the maximum plantar movement flexion with the use of RVW 10 mm of 3.93 \u00b1 4.44\u00b0 (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: when RVWs were placed under the calcaneus bone, the navicular bone response was in varus movement too; thus, the use of rearfoot varus wedge can influence the movement of the navicular bone.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22030815","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,23]],"date-time":"2022-01-23T20:34:40Z","timestamp":1642970080000},"page":"815","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Kinematic Effect on the Navicular Bone with the Use of Rearfoot Varus Wedge"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7839-4789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"G\u00f3mez Carri\u00f3n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Podiatry, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"de los \u00c1ngeles At\u00edn Arratibel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Podiatry, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Maria Rosario","family":"Morales Lozano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Podiatry, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Mart\u00ednez Sebasti\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Podiatry, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8499-9760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Blanca","family":"de la Cruz Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, University of Seville, c\/Avicena, s\/n, 41009 Seville, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7071-9860","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rub\u00e9n","family":"S\u00e1nchez-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Podiatry, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"363","DOI":"10.1053\/j.jfas.2010.04.001","article-title":"Characteristics of adult flatfoot in the United States","volume":"49","author":"Shibuya","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
