In anatomy, pronation is a rotational movement of the forearm at the radioulnar joint, or of the foot at the subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints.
Definition. Pronation and supination of the hand are rotational movements which occur at the superior radioulnar joint. These rotational movements are facilitated due to the presence of an annular ligament which holds the upper end of the radius in close apposition with the ulna.
24 mar 2019 · Pronation and supination. Pronation and supination occur at pivot joints. The most important example of this is the radiohumeral joint and the union of the radius and ulna through the interosseous membrane. To remember pronation, think of lying prone (on your belly).
In the upper limb, pronation is the rotatory movement during which the palm and forearm face downward. The forearm is the part of the upper limb below the elbow joint. It has two bones: radius and ulna. Two joints are involved in pronation and supination of the hand and forearm.
