Downward, upward, backward,
trapezius
Pronation of the hand results in the distal end of the radius being medial to the ulna and the palms facing backward or downward. This position is in contrast to the supination of the anatomic position.
When the palm of the hand faces backward, the radius crosses over the ulna in the forearm. This movement helps to rotate the forearm and allow the hand to face backward.
