PLANES
PLANE -- a two-dimensional surface defined by 3 points
not on the same line (i.e. not colinear)
pt 1
pt 2
pt 3
PLANE
MOTION OCCURS “IN A PLANE”
2
Leg Swing during gait (walking/running)
Plane
Even though leg has considerable thickness - only consider the
joint centers and the lines connecting them; so “thin” segments
define the leg which swings “IN THE PLANE”
3
AXES
AXIS -- a line passing
perpendicularly through a plane
AXIS
PLANE
MOTION OCCURS “ABOUT AN AXIS”
4
Leg Swing during gait (walking/running)
AXIS
AXIS PASSES THROUGH JOINT CENTER
5
Motion occurs “IN A PLANE”
AXIS
PLANE
Motion occurs “ABOUT AN AXIS”

Body Planes
• Sagittal -- vertical plane that
divides the body into RIGHT
and LEFT parts
Transverse
Plane
• Frontal -- vertical plane that
divides the body into
ANTERIOR and POSTERIOR
parts
• Transverse -- horizontal
planes that divides the body
into TOP and BOTTOM parts
Frontal
Plane
Sagittal Plane
7
Cardinal or “Mid” Planes
• DEFINITION -- if a
SAGITTAL
plane passes through PLANE
the body such that it
divides it into equal
mass halves
MID-SAGGITAL
PLANE
• INTERSECTION -- the
point at which the midsagittal, mid-frontal,
and mid-transverse
planes intersect is the
CENTER OF MASS
8
Body Planes & Axes
Sagittal Plane = Medial-Lateral Axis (ML)
Frontal Plane = Anterior-Posterior Axis
(AP)
Transverse Plane = Longitudinal Axis
9
Sagittal Plane Movements
10
Sagittal Plane Joint Mvmts
flexion = decrease angle between 2 segs
extension = increase angle between 2 segs
11
Sagittal Plane Joint Mvmts
dorsiflexion = point toes up (towards shin)
plantar flexion = point toes down
12
Frontal Plane Movements
13
Frontal Plane Joint Mvmts
abduction = move away from midline
adduction = move towards midline
14
Frontal Plane Joint Mvmts
elevation = move shoulder girdle
superiorly
depression = move shoulder girdle
inferiorly
15
Frontal Plane Joint Mvmts
inversion = lift medial border of foot
eversion = lift lateral border of foot
16
Frontal Plane Joint Mvmts
radial deviation = move toward radial
styloid
ulnar deviation = move toward ulnar
styloid
17
Frontal Plane Joint Mvmts
L/R lateral bending = bend trunk to L/R
18
Transverse Plane Movements
19
Transverse Plane Joint Mvmts
L/R rotation =
anterior surface
movement about
longitudinal axis
medial rotation =
anterior surface
rotates medially
lateral rotation =
anterior surface
rotates laterally
20
Transverse Plane Joint Mvmts
supination = rotate thumb laterally
pronation = rotate thumb medially
21
Transverse Plane Joint Mvmts
horizontal adduction
= move towards
midline in
transverse plane
horizontal abduction
= move away from
midline in
transverse plane
22
Circumduction =
Flexion
+ Abduction
+ Adduction
+ Extension
