Definition:
(n.) A muscle which produces pronation.

(6) The least amount of pronation takes place when running barefoot.
(7) Examination of 29 cases of fracture of the distal radius with restricted motion or persistent pain in 22 patients showed that most had been caused by incongruity of the distal radioulnar joint or by rotational malalignment in supination or pronation.

(13) This allows the surgeon to place his or her hand in the position of function while suturing either retrograde or antegrade, thus permitting flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, pronation and supination with circumduction to occur without restriction.
