Question

What movement occurs when one moves the foot from the anatomical position to point the toes laterally, with the foot flat on the floor?

Answer 1

Answer:

Literal Rotation (It is sometimes called outward or external rotation)

Explanation:

Rotation of the neck or body is the twisting movement produced by the summation of the small rotational movements available between adjacent vertebrae.Rotation can occur within the vertebral column, at a pivot joint, or at a ball-and-socket joint.  At a pivot joint, one bone rotates in relation to another bone.

Lateral rotation is a rotating movement of the limb (in this case foot) so that the anterior surface moves away from the midline (center of the body).
