In the context of the upper limb, the term most often refers to the forearm muscles that rotate the radius around the ulna to turn the palm downward.
The principal pronators of the forearm are the pronator teres and the pronator quadratus. The pronator teres
Nerve supply for these muscles is primarily from the median nerve. Pronator teres receives innervation from
Functionally, pronators act as antagonists to the supinator muscles (including the supinator and, when the elbow
