Study Notes
Transverse Plane Movements
- The transverse plane divides the body into upper and lower parts, allowing rotational movements.
- Movements characteristic of the transverse plane include rotation, twisting, and lateral movements.
Motion in the Transverse Plane
- Primary motion in the transverse plane encompasses rotational actions around the vertical axis, such as turning the body or limbs.
Actions Not in the Transverse Plane
- Movements such as flexion and extension primarily occur in the sagittal plane, not the transverse plane.
Classification of Rotational Movements
- Movements involving rotation are typically classified within the transverse plane, as they revolve around a central axis.
Examples of Transverse Plane Movements
- Examples include actions like swinging a bat, twisting the torso, or rotating the head.
