Dorsi plantar flexion motion

Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion are movements that occur at the ankle joint. Dorsiflexion involves lifting the foot upwards towards the shin, decreasing the angle between the dorsum of the foot and the leg. In contrast, plantarflexion involves pointing the foot downward away from the leg, increasing the angle at the ankle. These motions are essential for activities such as walking, running, and balance.
