Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the anatomical terms related to foot movements. These include plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion. Each term describes a specific movement of the foot.
Step 2: Define 'inversion.' Inversion refers to the movement where the sole of the foot is turned medially, meaning towards the midline of the body.
Step 3: Define 'eversion.' Eversion is the opposite of inversion, where the sole of the foot is turned laterally, away from the midline of the body.
Step 4: Define 'plantar flexion' and 'dorsiflexion.' Plantar flexion involves pointing the toes downward, while dorsiflexion involves lifting the toes upward towards the shin.
Step 5: Compare the definitions and identify that the term describing the movement of turning the sole of the foot medially is 'inversion.'
