PLANES & AXES OF
MOVEMENT
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
The body performs
movements through a plane
and around an axis.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
A plane is an imaginary
flat surface along which a
movement takes place.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
SAGITTAL PLANE
A vertical plane of the
body which passes from
front to rear dividing
the body into two
symmetrical halves.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
TRANSVERSE PLANE
Any horizontal plane of
the body which is
parallel to the
diaphragm; also called
the horizontal plane.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
FRONTAL PLANE
Plane of the body which
passes from side to side
at right angles to the
sagittal plane; also called
the coronal plane.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
An axis is an imaginary line
about which the body (or
limb) rotates.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
FRONTAL
HORIZONTAL AXIS
Axis of the body that
passes horizontally from
side to side at right
angles to the sagittal
plane.

VERTICAL AXIS
Axis of the body that
passes from head to foot
at right angles to the
transverse plane.

SAGITTAL
HORIZONTAL AXIS
Axis of the body that
passes from front to rear
lying at right angles to
the frontal plane.

Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
Physical activity is
made possible by
movements and motions.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
Every movement
takes place in one plane and
around one axis.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
They are also categorized
by movement type.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
FLEXION &
EXTENSION
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
FLEXION
takes place when the angle
decreases between the two
bones attached to a joint.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
EXTENSION
takes place when the angle
between the two bones
attached to a joint increases.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
HYPEREXTENSION
occurs when a joint is
overstretched (or bent
backwards) because of
an exaggerated extension
motion.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
Both flexion and
extension occur in
the sagittal plane
about the frontal
axis.

ADDUCTION &
ABDUCTION
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
ADDUCTION
is a movement laterally
toward the middle of the
body.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
ABDUCTION
is a movement laterally away
from the middle of the body.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
Both adduction
and abduction
occur in the
frontal plane
about the sagittal
axis.

ROTATION
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
INTERNAL ROTATION
takes place when the front
part of the body part rotates
towards the middle
(midline) of the body.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
EXTERNAL ROTATION
takes place when the front
part of the body part rotates
away from the middle
(midline) of the body.
Presented by
UNDERSTANDING PLANES & AXES OF MOVEMENT
Rotation (internal
and external)
occur in the
transverse plane
about the vertical
axis.
