Supination is a biomechanical movement involving the rotation of the forearm and hand that turns the palm upward. In orthopaedics, understanding supination is crucial as it plays a fundamental role in various activities such as gripping, throwing, and lifting. The primary muscles involved in supination include the biceps brachii and supinator muscles. Proper supination is essential for maintaining optimal function in activities of daily living and sports. Orthopedic assessments often evaluate supination to identify potential issues related to muscle imbalances, joint stability, or conditions like tennis elbow. Rehabilitation strategies may include exercises to strengthen the muscles involved in supination, addressing any weaknesses or limitations.
Injuries or conditions affecting supination can lead to functional limitations and impact upper limb biomechanics. Orthopedic interventions may range from conservative treatments, such as physical therapy, to surgical procedures in more severe cases.
