    pronation and refers to the rotational
    movement of a body part, typically
    the forearm or foot, where the palm
    or sole turns upward or outward.
    14 Inversion
    Inversion refers to the
    movement of the foot where
    the sole turns inward, towards
    the midline of the body.
    15 Eversion
    Eversion is the movement
    of the foot where the sole
    turns outward, away from
    the midline of the body.
    16 Circumduction
    A circular movement, like
    arm circles.
    17 Elevation
    Refers to the upward
    movement of a body part.
