circular movement around an axis: dorsiflexion: decreasing the angle of the ankle joint so that the foot bends backwards (upward) plantar flexion: the motion that extends the foot downward toward the ground as when pointing the toes: plant/o: sole of the foot: supinaton: as applied to the hand, the act of turning the palm forward, or up: pronation
Ankle jerk reflex. The ankle jerk reflex, also known as the Achilles reflex, occurs when the Achilles tendon is tapped while the foot is dorsi-flexed. A positive result would be the jerking of the foot towards its plantar surface. Being a deep tendon reflex, it is monosynaptic. It is also a stretch reflex. These are monosynaptic spinal segmental reflexes.
