This document discusses human body axes and planes. It defines axes as lines that movements occur around and planes as surfaces where movements take place. The three main axes are the sagittal, frontal, and vertical axes, which pass through joints and define the sagittal, frontal, and horizontal planes. Common human movements like abduction are described with reference to these axes and planes. The effect of gravity on movement in the different planes is also explained, such as how the horizontal plane allows gravity-free movement while upward movement in the vertical plane requires overcoming gravity.
