From the ground up
Start with the part of the body nearest the ground, then work upward.
Separate ankle motion, foot inversion/eversion and knee motion.
Dorsiflexion brings the top of the foot toward the shin. Plantar flexion points the foot away.
Inversion and eversion change the direction the sole faces; they are not the same as turning the whole thigh. At the knee, flexion is bending and extension is straightening.
Tracking describes a path during movement, not a diagnosis from one picture.
Three questions below the knee
Ankle motion, sole direction, and knee motion need separate names.
This is a simplified learning diagram. It is not a reviewed anatomical illustration.
Child's Pose
Keep the shin visible. Toggle the ankle pair, then the sole-direction pair, then bend and straighten the knee. Compare the Down Dog and Child's Pose ankle examples.
With one foot off the floor, point and flex the ankle, then tip the sole gently inward and outward.
Notice: Two separate pairs of movements at two separate joints, in a part of the body usually described as one thing.
This is noticing, not instruction. Move as little as you like, stop at any point, and watching instead of moving is a complete way to take part.
In the shown Child's Pose variation, the tops of the feet face the mat. Which ankle term applies?
Pause before opening Practice. Say the distinction in your own words.
Which joint changed? Did the toes move separately from the ankle?
Do not use toe direction alone to label the ankle. Do not prescribe a knee angle or make pain claims from the diagram.
