Definition: A rolling motion to the outside edge of the foot during a step. The foot naturally supinates during the toe-off stage as the heel first lift off the ground until the end of the step. This provides more leverage and to help roll off the toes. Too much supination places extra stress on the foot and can result in ankle injury, iliotibial band syndrome of the knee, Achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis.
Pronunciation: sue-pin-nay-shun (noun)
Common Misspellings: supinacion supinatoin
