What is A foot movement that bends the foot upward toward the leg?

Turning the palm of the hand upward is called supination. 'He held his hands up asking for his supper.' You don't really turn your sole of your foot in the same way but you do 'pick up your toes' in what is called dorsal flexion. The top of the foot is the dorsum of the foot. Just as the back of your hand is called the dorsal of the hand.
