Supination in the foot occurs when a person appears "bow-legged" with their weight supported primarily on the anterior of their feet.
Pronation is the inward (medial) roll of the foot and in particular the heel and arch
Supination is the opposite of Pronation.
In running, supination (also referred to as underpronation) is the insufficient inward roll of the foot after landing. This places extra stress on the foot and can result in iliotibial band syndrome of the knee, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis.
Pronation refers to the inward roll of the foot during normal motion and occurs
as the outer edge of the heel strikes the ground and the foot rolls inward and
flattens out. A moderate amount of pronation is required for the foot to
function properly, however damage and injury can occur during excessive
pronation. When excessive pronation does occur the foot arch flattens out
and stretches the muscles, tendons and ligaments underneath the foot.
Supination is the opposite of pronation and refers to the outward roll of the
foot during normal motion. A natural amount of supination occurs during the
push-off phase of the running gait as the heel lifts off the ground and the
forefoot and toes are used to propel the body forward. However, excessive
supination (outward rolling) places a large strain on the muscles and tendons
that stabilize the ankle, and can lead to the ankle rolling completely over,
resulting in an ankle sprain or total ligament rupture.
