Supination
Supination is a position of either the forearm or foot. When the arms are unbent and at the sides, the forearm is in supination when the palm faces to the front, or faces up. Supination in the foot occurs when a person appears "bow-legged" with their weight supported primarily on the lateral side of their feet. The hand is supine in the anatomical position. This action is performed by the Biceps brachii and the Supinator muscle. Supination is the opposite of pronation.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Supination
Applies to the movements of the forearm in turning the palm forward or upward and when applied to the foot, a combination of adduction and inversion of the foot.
