ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Supination describes the motion of turning the palm anteriorly (Fig. 1.14). Most often these motions occur with the hands in front of the body to accommodate grasping and holding types of activities, so supination is considered turning the palm of the hand upward, and pronation is considered turning the palm downward.

Detailed explanation-2: -Supination and pronation are terms used to describe the up or down orientation of your hand, arm, or foot. When your palm or forearm faces up, it’s supinated. When your palm or forearm faces down, it’s pronated.

Detailed explanation-3: -The wheel like rotation of the head of the radius enables supination (palm facing upwards), and pronation (palm facing downwards). Learn all the movements of the human body with the following study unit.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pronation is a natural and normal movement of the foot that occurs during foot landing while running or walking. Simply put, it’s your ankle and arch rolling or tipping inwards slightly, creating some shock absorption as your foot hits the ground after each step.

Detailed explanation-5: -SUPINATION: turning the palm upwards (or an internal rotation of the foot).
