(Pronounced soo-puh-nay-shuhn)

The term supination is not usually examinable at 16, but it is a useful term to remember.

To remember that supination means palm up, use the following mnemonic:

Soup is collected by hand in a nation (supination) that is so poor. You can only collect soup in your hands with your palms up.

Supination is when your palms face upwards.
