📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot
You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:
- Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
- The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
- The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.
Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.
Forearm Pronation
Proximal Radioulnar Joint • Elbow • transverse plane
Rotation of the forearm so the palm faces posteriorly (or downward).
Axis: longitudinal
Normal Range of Motion
Measured from the thumb-up neutral position with the elbow flexed 90 degrees. AAOS and Norkin & White list 80; AMA Guides and some sources list 90-degree norms.
