Document Summary

Axes of motion: an axis that is perpendicular to the plane in which the joint motion occurs; the closer the axis of the motion is to the body plane, the less movement in the plane. Types: lateral (frontal, coronal, or mediolateral axis) Runs from side to side at a right angle to sagittal plane of motion. Passes horizontally from posterior to anterior and is formed by the intersection of the sagittal and transverse planes: sagittal (anteroposterior axis) Runs from front to back at a right angle to frontal plane of motion. Passes horizontally from left to right and is formed by the intersection of the frontal and transverse planes. Movements are away and towards the midline: vertical (longitudinal axis) Runs straight through top of head and at right angle to transverse plane of motion. Passes vertically from inferior to superior and is formed by the intersection of the sagittal and frontal planes.
