"Dorsiflexion" refers to which movement?

  1. Bending the toes and foot up at the ankle

  2. Bending the toes and foot down at the ankle

  3. Movement toward the midline of the body

  4. Turning the joint inward

The correct answer is: Bending the toes and foot up at the ankle

Dorsiflexion refers to the movement of bending the toes and foot up at the ankle, therefore the correct answer is A. Option B is incorrect because it describes plantarflexion, which is the opposite movement of dorsiflexion. Option C is incorrect because it describes adduction, which is moving towards the midline of the body. Option D is incorrect because it describes inversion, which is turning the joint inward.
