Frontal. Adduction: Motion toward the midline. 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.
In reference to human anatomy, axis of rotation is an imaginary line that projects through the pivot/rotation point in a joint (for example, the axis of rotation for flexing and extending the arm projects through the elbow joint). Each movement in the three planes of motion (i.e., sagittal, frontal, and transverse) occur about an axis of ...
Shoulder presses done in the frontal plane, with the elbows pointed at 9 and 3 o’clock, could cause an injury to specific shoulder muscles. When the humerus is held in an externally rotated position to perform an overhead press in the frontal plane, the deltoid tuberosity can impinge the long head of the biceps brachii and the supraspinatus ...
Transverse Plane Lunge With Reach to Balance. Stand with the feet hip- to shoulder-width apart. With the right foot, step back and away from the left foot (toward the 4 o’clock position). Keep the left foot pressed into the floor and squeeze the left thigh to help control stability of the knee.
This happens with every step, so adduction does occur, but only as a result of the frontal plane motion of the pelvis. The purpose of this ongoing functional anatomy series is to help health and fitness professionals develop an understanding of how muscles actually function as a component of an integrated system.
Frontal plane: Back yourself up to a wall so that your whole backside is against the wall. Pretend this wall is in the center of you dividing you into anterior and posterior halves and represents the frontal plane. For all motions that occur in this plane, you must keep your entire backside against that wall behind you.
Frontal plane. Move the feet in one of two directions: abduct away from the body or adduct toward the midline, which results in placing the feet either wide or narrow: Wide stance; Narrow stance; Transverse plane. Create internal or external rotation at the feet or hips* to change the forces on the involved tissues: Feet internally rotated
Key Shoulder Stabilization Exercises. Exercise. Movement. Muscles activated/ strengthened. 1. Scaption with thumbs up. Arm raise in the plane of the scapula to below horizontal with elbows slightly bent and thumbs up. Scapular stabilizers – rhomboids, trapezius, levator scapulae, serratus anterior, pectoralis minor. 2.
Flexion and extension in the sagittal plane. Abduction and adduction in the frontal plane. Internal and external rotation in the transverse plane. If the hip loses mobility in one plane of motion, it could restrict motion in the other two planes as well. If the hip loses mobility in all three planes, the lumbar spine or the knee could be affected.
Specifically, we observe the ankles and hips in the frontal plane (adduction), hips in the sagittal plane (anterior or posterior pelvic tilts), and the shoulder, thoracic spine, and head positions in several planes. Ankles: Looking at the ankle might give you some clues about what is going on with the foot, ankle, knee, and hip joints.
