Here's a breakdown:
* Pronation is the inward rolling motion of the foot, where the arch flattens and the ankle rolls inward.
* Supination is the outward rolling motion of the foot, where the arch lifts and the ankle rolls outward.
Think of it this way:
* Pronate: "Palm down" - Your hand faces the ground with your palm facing downward.
* Supinate: "Palm up" - Your hand faces the ceiling with your palm facing upward.
This same concept applies to the feet.
