Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The term that refers to the turning of the sole of the food medially (towards the midline of the body) is called foot inversion. Normally, the foot can perform inversion up to about 30 degrees. Further inversion of the foot may result in injury such as an ankle sprain.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ankle also facilitates side-to-side movements of the foot known as inversion (rolling the sole of the foot to face medially) and eversion (rolling the sole of the foot to face laterally), as depicted in Figure 3.
Detailed explanation-3: -The movement of the sole of the foot outward or laterally is known as eversion. When the foot moves medially (or inward) it is known as inversion.
Detailed explanation-4: -Inversion is the movement of the foot so that the sole faces in a medial direction. Eversion is the opposite movement of the foot so that the sole faces in a lateral direction.
Detailed explanation-5: -eversion: Tilting of the foot so the sole faces away from the midline. inversion: Tilting of the foot so the sole faces into the midline. dorsiflexion: Movement of the foot upwards towards the lower leg.
