1 Beginning in anatomical position, applied to the hand, the act of turning the palm forward (anteriorly) or upward, performed by lateral external rotation of the forearm 2 Applied to the foot, it generally applied to movements resulting in raising of the medial margin of the foot, hence of the longitudinal arch; a compound motion of plantar flexion, adduction and inversion
Rotating your forearm so the palm is up, or your body is lying face up Also when your foot is rotated outward
Rotating the palm upward This technique is used when performing concentration curls In order to get a peak muscular contraction you supinate your wrist at the top of the movement
The opposite of pronation It's an outward rolling of the forefoot that naturally occurs during the stride cycle at toe-off Oversupination occurs when the foot remains on its outside edge after heel strike instead of pronating A true oversupinating foot underpronates or does not pronate at all, so it doesn't absorb shock well It is a rare condition occurring in less than 1 percent of the running population
exactly the opposite of pronation Supination is where the dancer has more of his/her weight on the outside of the foot than on the ball of the foot (and this usually means that the dancer will spend a lot of time on their BACKS or REAR ENDS rather than on their feet! Balance excercises can help with this problem )
To twist the forearm so as to turn the palm of the hand backwards if the forearm is pointing up, upwards if the forearm is horizontal, or forwards if the arm is pointing down; to twist the forarm by contracting the biceps brachii; to twist the right forearm clockwise or the left forearm counterclockwise
