Limited Forearm Supination

Elbow/Wrist - Mobility

Restricted supination can limit carrying and functional hand use.

Biomechanical Mechanism

Pronator tightness and joint stiffness reduce supination range.

Clinical Rationale

Improved forearm rotation supports functional gripping and carrying tasks.

Practical Solution

Restore supination mobility with controlled stretching and AROM.

Common Compensations

Progression

  1. AROM mobility
  2. Gentle stretching
  3. Light resistance rotation

Evidence

Level: limited

Intervention evidence for lateral elbow tendinopathy supports graded loading; supination ROM evidence is limited and indirect.
