  • Anatomical planes: sagittal plane (divides left and right side), median sagittal plane (divides left and right equally), coronal plane (divides front and back), horizontal/transverse plane (divides body in superior and inferior parts)
  • Terms of movement: flexion (decreasing angle between bones or body parts), extension (increasing angle between bones or body parts), hyperextension (extension beyond normal limit), dorsiflexion (extension of ankle joint), plantarflexion (flexing of ankle towards plantar surface)
  • Abduction: movement away from the median plane in the coronal plane
  • Adduction: movement towards the median plane in the coronal plane
