When a ballerina points her toes, what does this MOST accurately demonstrate?

Answer
A
plantarflexion
B
dorsiflexion
C
hyperextension
D
circumduction

Pointing the toes moves the foot downward, away from the shin; this motion is called plantarflexion. Dorsiflexion is the opposite motion, bringing the toes up toward the shin. Therefore, plantarflexion is the best answer.
