Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the anatomical terms related to foot movements. These include plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, eversion, and inversion, which describe specific movements of the foot and toes.
Step 2: Define plantar flexion. It refers to the movement where the toes point downward, away from the shin, as if pressing a gas pedal.
Step 3: Define dorsiflexion. It is the opposite of plantar flexion, where the toes are pulled upward toward the shin.
Step 4: Define eversion and inversion. Eversion refers to the movement of the sole of the foot outward, while inversion refers to the movement of the sole inward.
Step 5: Compare the definitions and identify that the term describing the movement of the toes downward, away from the shin, is plantar flexion.
