Detailed explanation-1: -Supination of the hand brings the palm to face forward in the anatomical position. It is the position you would place your hand in order to hold “soup".

Detailed explanation-2: -Supination is a rotational movement of the forearm at the radioulnar joint, or of the foot at the subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints. When the arms are unbent and at the sides, the forearm is in supination when the palm faces to the front (anteriorly), or faces up.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. When supination and pronation refer to your feet, it’s a little more complicated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proper functioning of the hand relies on its capacity to rotate and point the palm upward (i.e. supination) or downward (i.e. pronation) when standing up with the elbow in 90° flexion. Hand rotation is possible because of forearm rotation and also rotation of the whole upper limb at the shoulder.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anatomical position, or standard anatomical position, refers to the positioning of the body when it is standing upright and facing forward with each arm hanging on either side of the body, and the palms facing forward. The legs are parallel, with feet flat on the floor and facing forward.
