Therefore, supination-pronation movements were only possible by rotating the forearm around the radioulnar joint.
Occasional variants may occur, such as shoulder adduction or wrist supination.
Each functional command specifies a grasping mode (including wrist pronation and supination) and a force level (or velocity level) associated to that grasping mode.
It plantarflexes the hallux and assists in supination.
The oblique cord does not limit supination, nor does it seem to have a role in preventing radial buckling failure or reducing bending strain.
The radius and ulna (forearm bones) locked together so that there was no possibility of pronation or supination (twisting) as in human forearms.
It is also capable of both pronation and supination, depending on the position of the forearm.
Along with the transverse tarsal joint (i.e. talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joint), the subtalar joint transforms tibial rotation into forefoot supination and pronation.
