/suÂ·piÂ·naÂ·tion/ (sooâ³pÄ­-naÂ´shun) [L. supinatio ] the act of assuming the supine position, or the state of being supine. Applied to the hand, the act of turning the palm forward (anteriorly) or upward, performed by lateral rotation of the forearm. Applied to the foot, it generally implies movements resulting in raising of the medial margin of the foot, hence of the longitudinal arch.
This is palmar extension, or dorsiflexion. . . . . . which is, obviously, the position of your wrist while youâre doing a push up. What you might not know is that, what looks like a pretty straightforward hinge has a significant component of rotation.fter some long days, my index finger could not push on anything without sharp pain and my wrist was too painful to do yoga on the thumb side of my wrist. It is not nervy. Just PAIN. After a day of work or an attempt to do yoga, it aches like a sore tooth.
