How many planes of motion are there?
3
What is the sagital plane?
It divides the body from top to bottom resulting in a left and right side
What is the frontal plane?
Divides the bodyfrom top to bottom resulting in a front and back section
What is the transverse plane?
It divides the body across the middle, givinga top and bottom section
How many axis are there?
3
What does the frontal axis do?
It runs from side to sides formed by the intersection of the frontal and transverse planes., allows flexion and extension.
What does the vertical axis do?
It runs from top to bottom, formed by the intersection of the sagittal and fronta planes, allows rotation of the body in an upright position
What does the sagittal axis do?
It runs from side to side formed by the intersection of the sagittal and transverse planes.allows abduction and addiction.
