    Inversion and eversion are movements that tilt the sole of the foot away from (eversion) or towards (inversion) the midline of the body. [35] Eversion is the movement of the sole of the foot away from the median plane. [36] Inversion is the movement of the sole towards the median plane. For example, inversion describes the motion when an ankle ...

  3. Pronation of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronation_of_the_foot

    Pronation is a natural movement of the foot that occurs during foot landing while running or walking. Composed of three cardinal plane components: subtalar eversion, ankle dorsiflexion, and forefoot abduction, [1] [2] these three distinct motions of the foot occur simultaneously during the pronation phase. [3]

  4. Subtalar joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtalar_joint

    The joint allows inversion and eversion of the foot, but plays minimal role in dorsiflexion or plantarflexion of the foot. [5] The centre of rotation of the subtalar joint is thought to be in the region of the middle facet. [3] It is considered a plane synovial joint, also commonly referred to as a gliding joint. [6]

    Eversion (from the verb evert) is the process of turning inside-out. Eversion may refer to: Eversion may refer to: Eversion (kinesiology) , the anatomical term of motion denoting the movement of the sole of the foot away from the median plane

  7. Fibularis brevis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibularis_brevis

    The fibularis brevis (bottom-most label) is a muscle of the lower leg and aids in plantar flexion and eversion of the foot. The fibularis brevis arises from the lower two-thirds of the lateral, or outward, surface of the fibula (inward in relation to the fibularis longus) and from the connective tissue between it and the muscles on the front and back of the leg.

  8. Inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion

    Inversion in a point, or point reflection, a kind of isometric (distance-preserving) transformation in a Euclidean space; Inversion transformation, a conformal transformation (one which preserves angles of intersection) Method of inversion, the image of a harmonic function in a sphere (or plane); see Method of image charges

  9. Sprained ankle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprained_ankle

    In addition, there are different types of ankle sprains such as eversion ankle sprains and inversion ankle sprains. Overall, the most common type of ankle sprain to occur is an inversion ankle sprain, where excessive plantar flexion and supination cause the anterior talofibular ligament to be affected.
