In inversion the outer side of the foot is depressed and the sole turned inward; in eversion the opposite place. The movements between metatarsal bones and phalanges and the interphalangeal movements are similar to those of the hand; but the range of movement is somewhat less, especiall}- in the case of the hallux, or great toe.
