The chief movements of the foot distal to the ankle joint are inversion and eversion. In inversion, the sole of the foot is directed medially. In eversion, the sole is turned so that it faces laterally (see fig. 17-6).he word ankle refers to the angle between the leg and the foot. The foot functions in support and in locomotion, whereas the hand is a tactile and grasping organ. The toes are numbered from one to five, beginning with the great toe, or hallux. Thus, the pre-axial digit in either the hand or the foot is numbered one.
