Dorsiflexion is the movement of the ankle joint where you lift the foot's superior surface towards the shin or the front of the leg. This occurs when you stand on your heels, and is the opposite of plantar flexion which occurs when you stand on your toes. Inversion is the movement where the sole of the foot is turned medially, while eversion is the movement where the sole of the foot is turned laterally. Supination is the movement where the palm or sole is turned upward.
