Sagittal Plane – Fundamental
Movements
Flexion

Hyperextension
Hyperflexion
Plantar flexion
Dorsiflexion
Flexion and extension do not refer
to muscle contraction!!!
Frontal Plane – Fundamental
Movements
Abduction
Adduction
Left lateral flexion
Right lateral flexion
Hyperabduction
Hyperadduction
Radial deviation
Ulnar deviation
Inversion
Eversion
To observe, look at the plane,
down the axis!!!

Fundamental Movements
Medial rotation

Left rotation

Transverse Plane –
Fundamental Movements
Horizontal adduction
Horizontal abduction
Other Points
Circumduction combines sagittal (flexion,
extension) and frontal plane (abduction,
adduction) motions.
Although inversion & eversion occur around the
long axis of the bone like transverse plane
movements, they are considered frontal plane
movements because of the orientation of the
foot in anatomical position.
All movements defined in this slide show are
rotational movement, even though we use the
word rotation only for transverse plane motions.
Other Points (cont.)
Not all joints permit movement in all 3 planes –
learn the planes of movement associated with
each joint.
Movement terms for each plane vary across
joints – learn appropriate terminology for each
joint.
