Document Summary
Important to use the language that has been agreed upon by scientists, scholars, and health care providers. Anatomical position: body erect and facing forward, feet parallel, arms extended at the sides, palms facing forward, used to describe relative location of anatomical features as well as to describe movements of the various parts of the body. Planes of movement: motions occur at the joints in one of three general directions: front to back, side to side, or rotationally, sagittal plane: divides the body vertically into right and left halves. Front to back movements occur parallel to this plane: frontal plane: divides the body in to front and back halves. Side to side movements occur parallel to this plane: transverse plane: divides the body in to superior and inferior regions. Rotational or turning movements occur parallel to this plane. Internal rotation: turning motions toward the midline: external rotation: turning motions away from the midline.
