Tibialis anterior and posterior labeled at center top.

Inversion is the movement of the sole towards the median plane (as when an ankle is twisted).

Tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior invert.[1] Some sources also state that the triceps surae and extensor hallucis longus invert.[2]

It occurs at the subtalar joint.[3]
