Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pronation and supination refer to the rotation of the forearm and are only possible due to the structure of the upper limb. The lower limb cannot perform these motions due to the fixed structure of the leg bones. Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, lateral rotation, and medial rotation can all be performed by both the upper and lower limbs.
