For the foot, what is the difference between supination and inversion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anatomically: Inversion is an inward motion of the foot through the hind foot (subtler) joint. As you invert the foot the forefoot supinates e.g. The sole goes from facing downward to facing inwards and more upward
