Document Summary

Sagittal divides the body into left & right halves. Forward and backward movement parallel to this line occurs in this. Frontal divides the body into front & back halves. Lateral (side-side) movement parallel to this line occurs in this plane. Transverse divides the body into top and bottom halves. Movement parallel to waistline (rotational movement) occurs in this plane plane. Flexion decreasing the angle between two bones. Extension increasing the angle between two bones. Dorsiflexion moving the top of the foot toward the shin (only at the ankle) Plantar flexion moving the sole of the foot downward (pointing the toes) Abduction motion away from the midline of the body. Elevation moving to a superior position (only at the scapula) Depression moving to an inferior position (only at the scapula) Inversion lifting the medial border of the foot. Eversion lifting the lateral border of the foot. Rotation medial or lateral turning about the vertical axis of the bone.
