- forwards and backward movements
- divides the body in to left and right
- nose to toes
- dorsi/plantarflexiob
What movements does the frontal plane and sagital axis allow?
- abduction and addiction
- side to side movements
- ear to ear
- divides the body into front and back
What movements does the transverse plane and longitudinal axis allow?
- rotation
- divides the body into top and bottom
- rotational or turning movements
- horizontal ab/adduction
What movement do ball and socket joints allow?
- movement in every direction
What does a ball and socket joint consist of?
