Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pronation is the movement where the palm faces downwards. Pronator teres and pronator quadratus are the prime muscles responsible for pronation of the forearm. Therefore, to neutralize forearm supination, these muscles would act in the opposite direction and work to bring the forearm back to a neutral position. The other listed muscles (triceps, brachialis, brachioradialis, and anconeus) are not directly involved in pronation or neutralization of supination.
