Tilting the foot upward and reducing the angle between the top of the foot and the front leg is known as dorsiflexion. Plantar flexion is the reverse of dorsiflexion, where the foot is pointed downward, increasing the angle between the top of the foot and the front leg. Extension is the straightening of a joint. Pronation is the rotation of the forearm or foot so that the palm or sole faces down or inward.
