Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plantar flexion is the movement where the foot is stretched down and pointed. Dorsiflexion is the opposite movement where the foot is pulled up towards the shin. Hyperextension involves overextending a joint past its normal range of motion, while abduction is the movement of a limb away from the midline of the body.
