State
Synovial joints produce movement types including flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, rotation, and, at specialized joints, supination, pronation, and opposition.
Show
Turning the palm face-up is supination; turning it face-down is pronation, both at the same forearm joint.
Watch for
Not every synovial joint permits every movement type — a joint's shape determines which motions it allows.
