'These terms refer to flexion between the foot and the body's dorsal surface, considered the front of the leg, and flexion between the foot and the body's plantar surface, considered the back of the leg. ...
These terms (referring to plantarflexion and dorsiflexion) are used to resolve confusion, as technically extension of the joint refers to dorsiflexion, which could be considered counter-intuitive as the motion reduces the angle between the foot and the leg.'
How does one 'consider' 'the body's dorsal surface' 'the front of the leg'? and vice versa ...... and then 'technically extension of the joint refers to dorsiflexion'; now i thought i had the ankle sagittal plane motion covered, with ankle flexion being dorsiflexion?
Are podiatrists the only health profession that exclusively use the terms, dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, to describe ankle sagittal plane motion?
