Where Does Inversion and Eversion Occur

The ankle joint is a hinge type joint, with movement permitted in one plane. Thus, plantarflexion and dorsiflexion are the main movements that occur at the ankle joint. Eversion and inversion are produced at the other joints of the foot, such as the subtalar joint.

Where does inversion and eversion occur in the body?

Inversion and eversion are complex movements that involve the multiple plane joints among the tarsal bones of the posterior foot (intertarsal joints) and thus are not motions that take place at the ankle joint.

What joint does inversion occur at?

Inversion is a movement of the foot which causes the soles of the feet to face inwards, and eversion is the opposite movement. Inversion and eversion occur primarily at: Talocalcaneonavicular joint. Subtalar (talocalcaneal) joint.
