The movements of the sagittal (longitudinal) plane include: Our day-to-day activities usually occur in this plane since we usually move by swinging our arms and legs in front of us. Movements that occur in the sagittal (longitudinal) plane involve forward and backward movements. The sagittal plane, also known as the longitudinal plane, divides the body into left and right halves.
What movements happen in the sagittal (longitudinal) plane? Examples include jumping jacks, side lunges, side shuffles, side bends, and lateral arm and leg raises. However, it’s important to include some of these movements in your fitness routine. Moving in the coronal (frontal) plane is less common in day-to-day life. However, if you were to lift your arm straight in front of you, it would “break” the glass sheet, meaning you’re moving in a different body plane (the sagittal plane). If there was a glass sheet, your arms would glide along it, meaning you’re moving your arms along the coronal (frontal) plane. Using the glass sheet example, imagine you lift your arms out to the sides (abduction). Eversion of the ankle: sole of your foot turns outward away from the body’s midline (a component of pronation).Inversion of the ankle: sole of your foot turns inward toward the midline of the body (a component of supination.Depression: lowering your scapula (shoulder blade) downward.Elevation: raising your scapula (shoulder blade) upward.Adduction: moving your limbs medially, toward the midline of the body (e.g., lowering your arm down to the side of your body).Abduction: moving your limbs laterally, away from the midline of the body (e.g., lifting your leg to the side).Movements that occur in the coronal (frontal) plane are lateral or side-to-side. This divides the body into the front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections. The coronal plane is often referred to as the frontal plane. What movements happen in the coronal (frontal) plane? When imagining the way your body moves, it’s useful to think of your body moving along the glass sheets (or planes) but not through them. Imagine the sagittal (longitudinal) plane as a vertical sheet that runs through your body from front to back, so that it divides your body into left and right sides.įinally, imagine the axial (transverse) plane as a horizontal sheet that runs through your torso, dividing the upper and lower halves of your body. Imagine the coronal (frontal) plane as a vertical sheet that runs through the side of your body, so that the sheet separates the front part of your body from the back. To imagine each, it’s useful to visualize a large sheet of glass that runs through your body. Transverse (axial) plane: separates the upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves of the body.Sagittal (longitudinal) plane: separates the left and right sides of the body.Coronal (frontal) plane: separates the front (anterior) and back ( posterior) of the body.
