Axes & planes
Prepared by –Dr Pankaj R jayswal
[M.P.T ORTHO]
Axes
• “this is the line about which movements takes
place “
• Human movements are described in relation to
axis and planes.
Planes
• This is the surface in which movements takes
place.
• Axis and planes are right angle [90 degree] to
each other .
• In human body ,movements occurs at joints so
axis passes through joints.
frontal axis –Sagittal plane
Sagittal axis –frontal plane
Vertical axis – horizontal plane
Sagittal axis
• Lies Parallel to
Sagittal suture in
skull in human body
i.e. antero posterior
direction
• Movements about
this axis is in a
frontal plane .
Frontal axis
• Lies parallel to the
transverse suture of
skull.
• movement occurs in
Sagittal plane.
Vertical axis
• This axis lies parallel
to line of gravity.
• Movements occurs in
horizontal plane.
human movements in relation to axis & planes
• abduction/adduction at shoulder joint
• flexion /extension at hip joint
• Rotation movement at neck
• It is conventional and convenient to indicate
the type and direction of movements of the
body with reference to these axes and planes.
• In many instances there is more than one axis
and therefore more than one plan about that
axis.
Effect of gravity in different planes and axis
Horizontal plane
• Movements in this plane are not affected by
gravity. “gravity free”
• weak muscle which are unable to produce
movement against gravity can produce
movement in this plane.
Inclined plane
• 2 movements –upward or
downward
• During upward movement
,resistance depends on force
of gravity and reduce by the
reaction of plane
• So resistance is least when
incline is nearly horizontal
& increases as it approach to
vertical.
• downward movement is
produced by force of
gravity..magnitude of force
increases as inclination
approaches the vertical.
Vertical plane
Upward movements
• Muscular force >
force of gravity
Downward movements
• Gravity force is
modified at specific
speed by muscular
action
•
