Begin by understanding the anatomical terms related to foot movements. These include inversion, eversion, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, and protraction.
Inversion refers to the movement where the sole of the foot turns inward towards the midline of the body.
Eversion is the opposite of inversion, where the sole of the foot turns outward, away from the midline.
Plantar flexion involves pointing the toes downward, increasing the angle between the foot and the leg.
Dorsiflexion is the movement of raising the toes upward, decreasing the angle between the foot and the leg.
