1848 Dublin Q. Jrnl. Med. Sci. 5 213 The adductor muscles are evertors of the limb.
1875 Lancet 9 Oct. 517/1 The invertors of the foot were not the muscles at fault;..it is to the innate weakness of the evertors (their antagonisers) that attention should be directed.
1915 T. B. Johnston Med. Appl. Anat. 180 Both these muscles [sc. the peronæus longus and peronæus brevis] act as plantar flexors of the foot, but, at the same time, they elevate the lateral border of the foot from the ground, i.e. they act as powerful evertors.
1967 Gray's Anat. (ed. 34) 717 When the foot is off the ground, it [sc. the peroneus longus] is an evertor.
2009 Jrnl. Athletic Training 44 654/2 The outcomes we selected for this study were limited to measures of evertor muscle strength.
