Question

5 multiple choice 1 point which joint of the foot permits flexion/extension and inversion/eversion? interphalangeal metatarsophalangeal talocrural subtalar

Explanation:

• Interphalangeal joints: mainly allow flexion and extension of the toes.
• Metatarsophalangeal joints: allow flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction of the toes.
• Talocrural joint (ankle joint): mainly allows dorsiflexion (extension - like movement in a sense) and plantarflexion (flexion - like movement in a sense).
• Subtalar joint: is the joint that permits inversion (turning the sole of the foot inward) and eversion (turning the sole of the foot outward) along with some limited flexion/extension - related movements as it works in conjunction with other foot joints for overall foot motion.

Answer:

subtalar
