Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dorsiflexion specifically refers to the movement that decreases the angle between the dorsum (upper surface) of the foot and the leg, which is essentially the action of moving the foot upward towards the shin. This term is directly related to movements of the ankle and foot. Supination and pronation are terms used to describe movements of the forearm or foot, but they do not specifically refer to the movement of the ankle and foot in the context of moving towards or away from the shin.
