What is medial rotation of the hand?

Medial rotation of the forearm is called pronation in its broadest sense, so "medial rotation of the arm" most probably refers to movement at the shoulder.The best example is if you flex your forearm at 90° to your arm, and you bring your hand to your midline, this is medial rotation of the arm at the shoulder.Medial rotation of the arm is the rotation of the humerus(arm bone) around its long axis (imagine a line from elbow to shoulder).


What is the difference between pronation and supination?

What muscles are used in hip medial rotation?

Knee Rotation:- as extension progresses, shorter, more highly curved lateral condyle exhausts its articular surface andis checked by ACL, whereas larger and less curved medial condyle continues its forwardroll & skids backward, assisted by tightening of PCL;- result is a medial rotation of femur (external tibial rotation) that tightens collateral ligaments, & joint is "screwed home",to use mechanical phraseology;- flexion of extended knee is preceded by lateral rotation of femur (or medial rotation of tibia), usually produced by popliteus;- this rotation relaxes the tension of the collateral ligaments sufficiently to permit flexion;


What movement of your forearm results in the distal end of your radius being medial to your ulna and your palms facing backward or downward?
