Planes & Axes of Movement - W.I.T.S
Examples of Frontal Plane movement
ABDUCTION - Away from body ADDUCTION - Towards body LATERAL FLEXION - Sideways rotating (e.g: Yoga stretching ex: the tree going sideways) ELEVATION - Only for shoulder (e.g: Shrugging) DEPRESSION - Only for shoulder (e.g: Dropping shoulders) RADIAL DEVIATION - Wrists (e.g: Moving hand in a wave but going the direction that has resistance) ULNAR DEVIATION - Wrists (e.g: Moving hand in a wave that is meet with the least resistance) EVERSION - Toes move outward (e.g: Bringing little toe laterally-away from midline) INVERSION - Toes move inward (e.g: Bringing big toe medially-toward midline)
FRONTAL PLANE
Divides the body into ANTERIOR and POSTERIOR segments.
SAGITTAL PLANE
Divides the body into RIGHT and LEFT segments.
TRANSVERSE PLANE
Divides the body into UPPER and LOWER segments.
Example of Transverse Plane movement
External Rotation -Infraspinatus -Teres Min -Rhomboids -Trap III and IV Internal Rotation -Subscap -Teres Maj -Lats -Anterior Delt -Pec Maj -Serratus Anterior -Pec Min Horizontal ADduction -Pec Maj -Anterior Delt -Coracobrachialis -Biceps Brachii -Serratus Anterior -Pec Min Horizontal ABduction -Post Delt -Infraspinatus -Teres Min -Triceps -Rhomboids -Trap III For more details..

Example of Sagittal Plane movement
FLEXION - Angles are smaller, this occurs in the sagittal plane, EXTENSION - Angles are larger, can return back to the normal position from bent DORSIFLEXION - Toe toward the sky PLANTAR FLEXION - Toe toward the ground PROTRACTION - Forward (Shoulder) RETRACTION - Backward (shoulder) PROTRUSION - Jaw forward (bottom row of teeth) RETRUSION - Jaw backward (bottom row of teeth) WHOLE BODY SAGITTAL MOVEMENTS? - Crunch, jump, summersault
Example of Longitudinal Axis movement
Hip Joint -Movement: Internal-External Rotation Axis: LONGITUDINAL Plane: horizontal/transverse Knee -Movement: Internal-External Rotation Axis: LONGITUDINAL Plane: horizontal/transverse
All joint movements are referenced from?
The Anatomical Position (AP)
JOINT MOVEMENT
1. Described in terms of how the "distal" segment (below the joint) moves relative to the "proximal" segment (above the joint) 2. All joint movements are referenced from the anatomical position. AP 3. Anatomical position occurs when the body stands in an erect position with the arms at sides and palms facing forward.
MEDIOLATERAL AXIS
1. PERPENDICULAR to the "Sagittal" plane 2. FLEXION and EXTENSION occur around this axis
ANTEROPOSTERIOR AXIS
1. PERPENDICULAR to the "Transverse" plane 2. ABDUCTION and ADDUCTION occur around this axis
LONGITUDINAL AXIS
1. PERPENDICULAR to the "Transverse" plane 2. INTERNAL and EXTERNAL rotation occur in this plane
