Mar 24, 2019 · Movements in an axis and along a plane. Bringing together planes and axes, we will describe the movements we used above. Flexion and extension of the hip occur in the sagittal plane, and about the coronal axis. Abduction and adduction of the shoulder occur in the coronal plane, and about the sagittal axis.

Sep 7, 2024 · Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion are terms used to describe movements at the ankle.
