Question

Purnima was thinking if there's a specific term for the movement of toes, especially when we point our toes up! Could you help her with this?

• A. Dorsal point
• B. Dorsiflexion
• C. Plantarflexion
• D. Extension

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Dorsiflexion

We call this dorsiflexion.

So dorsiflexion is the movement where we point our toes up. The movement begins at the ankle point and the feet itself is lifted up with the toe pointing up.
