Concept explainers
To enlist: Planes and axis of rotation for each of the following movements.
Introduction: All the body movements occur in different planes and different axes. A plane is referred to any surface in which body movement takes place or occurs. The axis is referred to as the imaginary line around which the body rotation or movement takes place.
Explanation of Solution
The planes and the axis of rotation for each of the given movements are as follows:
a. Cervical flexion: Sagittal plane; frontal axis.
b. Cervical extension: Sagittal plane; frontal axis.
c. Cervical rotation: Transverse plane; vertical axis.
d. Cervical lateral flexion: Frontal plane; sagittal axis.
e. Lumbar flexion: Sagittal plane; frontal axis.
f. Lumbar extension: Sagittal plane; frontal axis.
g. Lumbar rotation: Transverse plane; vertical axis.
h. Lumbar lateral flexion: Frontal plane; sagittal axis.
i. Capital flexion: Sagittal plane; frontal axis.
j: Capital extension: Sagittal plane; frontal axis.
