Plane of motion:
Bisects body into right and left
halves
- Also called Anteroposterior or
AP plane
Sagittal plane
Plane of motion:
Divides body into front and back
- Also called the Coronal plane
frontal plane
Generally, motion in this plane is called flexion and extension
- Bicep curl
sagittal plane
Generally, adduction and abduction movements occur in this plane of motion
- lateral raise
frontal plane
Planes of motion:
Divides the body horizontally into superior and inferior halves
- Also called Horizontal plane
- Latin, “lying across”
transverse plane
Generally, rotational movements such as pronation, supination and spinal rotation movements occur in this plane of motion
- cervical (neck) rotation
