Anatomical Planes & Axes Explained

[@darrenwong50]

I am a physiotherapy student and I am amazed how your videos are so useful in solidifying and clarifying what we are taught in our classes. Keep doing what you do!!

[@Physiotutors]

Hi Darren, thanks a lot for the compliment. This is exactly what we strive for!

@@Physiotutorswhat axis would a dumbbell side bend be?

[@RixxeyG]

Thank you so much! I was just a bit short of fully understanding how to visualize movement around an axis through my textbook or other videos, but this presentation was articulate and succinct. Just perfect!

[@Physiotutors]

+CrossroadsBiggie we've been there! Glad you found what you were looking for

[@jordanseidl9765]

I'm in PTA school and I've been having trouble grasping these concepts, but this was a huge help. Thanks, much appreciated!

[@Physiotutors]

That's exactly why we made this video!

[@stevem8955]

Same here. While I understand the basics, it still hasn't 100% clicked yet. This video was very helpful. Thank you

That was the goal Clonie!

[@therealjmc9353]

Same!

[@bencebodola7779]

Thank you so much! I have always struggled to understand movement around an axis (except in the case of pure rotation), but this video with the narration was spot on! - a medical student

[@o00Adi00o]

Thank you! This is by far the simplest and most comprehensive explanation I was able to find.

[@Physiotutors]

Thank you for the comment, appreciate it!

[@mattfrisina8717]

currently studying Human structure and function and this really helped simplify the planes and there axes for me. Thanks heaps!!

[@neelupetyt6520]

I am a med student, and my lecturer put up such a horrible module on this. Your video really helped, thanks alot

[@ellensever7677]

I have an exam on this tomorrow and I came into this video so confused. Makes perfect sense now! Thanks!

Was having troubles grasping these concepts for my NASM course until I saw this, thanks!

[@Physiotutors]

Happy to hear Nate, that's why we made this video!

[@drdominquehayes5412]

Wow I was in the same boat- CES textbook for NASM was confusing. This video was amazingly clear.

this was extremely helpful thank you very much!!

[@teachertiana_]

hey dude, nice video and helpful to know the anatomy of the joints.. but i think youve got the planes mixed up. Saggital plane is movements in parallel with it and transversal would be movements in parralel with that plan. Another reputable video is showing the opposite of what you taught.

[@vicvanreusel8411]

WTF, i wasn't sure about all the different movements around the planes and axes but this video has saved my exam for that 20/20 :) thanks mannnnn

[@Physiotutors]

Nice James!

[@profusionfitness]

Thank you ! This helped to clarify a lot of things.

[@genesisseyer7730]

im confused. at 1:06 he says the transversal axis is also called the frontal axis. but isnt the frontal axis the coronal axis?

[@bahez-u1l]

I agree, It seems like he made a mistake.

[@dumebimichael8936]

The frontal plane is also called the coronal plane. The transversal axis is also called the frontal axis.

[@necipfazlay4059]

[@dr.shahbazahmad693]

pleasee make a video on what movement of scapula occurs in sagital and frontal planes and Axis

[@RT-py5sh]

What do you mean by the "perpendicular to the respective plane in the extension of the axis...."??

[@Physiotutors]

Example: I want to see a movement in the frontal plane (e.g. abduction/adduction of the hip joint). Then I have to position myself in the extension of the sagittal axis to see it. So I am looking at the frontal plane.

[@RT-py5sh]

Physiotutors "in the extension of the sagittal plane" = sagittal plane, right? In this example, I should be in the anatomical position to see the movement in the frontal plane, am I right?

[@Physiotutors]

Yes

[@KamranKhalidO]

Thanks 👍

You’re welcome 😊

[@almasawe6017]

this is sooo helpful!! for pronation and supination and lateral rotation of the scapula on the thoracic cage what would the plane/axis be its so confusing

[@Physiotutors]

The starting position is always the anatomic position. So pronation supination occur mainly in the horizontal plane around a longitudinal axis. Lateral rotation of the scapula happens in the frontal plane around a sagittal axis.

[@abbygabrielle96]

@@Physiotutors Hello! if the elbow is flexed 90 degrees, do pronation & supination still occur on the horizontal plane... or is it now the frontal plane?

[@unknown4822]

great video, really helped

[@shailkumarjain]

Please explain the criteria to draw an axis.. if axis should pass through the centre of the bone associated with joint, both vertically and horizontally ? thank you..

[@Physiotutors]

An axis is always perpendicular to the respective plane. Example: Sagittal plane (side view of the body), sagittal axis is through the respective joint from front to back of the patient.

[@drdominquehayes5412]

Thank you for such a clear presentation. The illustration of the axis point orientation for the movement in the referenced plane was amazingly helpful. Until I viewed video, I could not understand why the movement in the plane was not correct. Whew! Thank you again! :-)

I am studying physiotherapy. I am from Egypt

[@mtgaming3444]

i need some help, what is the difference between a transverse or horizontal abduction rather then a regular abduction. i cant find a video on it and in my book its not very clear:/

[@Physiotutors]

Horizontal abduction takes place in the horizontal/transversal plane. It's moving your shoulder into 90° of flexion and adducting it from there.

[@ashqagandhashete2091]

Thank you IT helped alottt😁

[@Physiotutors]

Very happy to hear!

[@drgautampoudel9179]

I have a doubt . If we do internal rotation of humerus in 90 degree of abduction of shoulder, what will be the axis ?

[@chuoilms5b15]

Hello Sir! I want to clarify a question for myself. My school ppt shows me the anatomical position with toes out (externally rotated like about 45 degrees) picture with reference from a kinesiology book. However, when I try to search 'anatomical position' on Google with the wording 'research' or 'journal', some pictures show a neutral alignment. Meanwhile, some of my buddies told me it's normal to turn the foot out during the supine position assessment (instead of with a tight hip abductor problem). And I saw the demo pic used in your video has rotated its feet slightly outward as well. May I know if a normal people/anatomical position shared a neutral foot position or (slightly) externally rotated feet? Or it's supposed that we are in neutral degrees but it's still not a bad sign (have rotated feet) that says we need to check out the abductor? Thank you for reading!

[@smeagoldugondor163]

Oh Amazing !!!!!!! Thaaanks for the traduction in french !!!

[@Physiotutors]

+Smeagol Dugondor nous sommes en train de traduire presque tous de nos vidéos en différentes langues (sous-titres) Merci pour ton commentaires

[@stephengoodrum821]

So guys what axis would a dumbbel side bend be?

[@petrag85]

if we change from anatomical position for example in supine position. and we do again abduction and adduction in the shoulder joint are these movements now in the frontal plane or transversal plane? i mean do the movements in the planes of body follow the changes of body position?

[@Physiotutors]

It doesn't matter if you're in standing or supine position as body movements are always described with the body as reference, not the surrounding.

[@valvihk3649]

I don't understand axes. For example, seesaw hip movement is within a frontal plane. How is it a sagittal axis? Sagittal axis is front and back. How is seesaw a sagittal pelvis rotation? The only way I understand it is that the hip lifts up is abduction and hip down is adduction. But, there is no going front to back rotation to call it sagittal? I'm so confused...

[@kainataslam522]

Thanku

Thank you. This helps a lot. From an artist :)

[@naseralzahrani1126]

Thanks for thes video But ther is a fals information in knee joint The type of joint not hang joint And it’s not just one movment The type is bicondilar joint because it’s consist of two condile two in femer and two in tibia the movement is medial rotation and latral rotation and locking and unlocking

[@Physiotutors]

You're welcome. The knee joint is a hinge joint, 2 femoral condyles or not. There is indeed some medial and lateral rotation that is coupled with flexion and extension. For educational purposeses and to focus on planes & axis we decided to keep it simple.

[@wildestdreams2383]

Is dorsal medial same as middorsal?

[@IWAC2013]

You sound just like Arnie!

[@DavidBrown-di4tg]

amazing

[@Physiotutors]

+David Brown Thanks !

[@madelinekan]

It sounds like he's saying (and subtitles say) "a deduction, or a deduction" when referring to movement on the frontal plane, and through the sagittal axis, but what is he actually saying? What is the terminology and how is it spelled?

[@madelinekan]

Figured it out: "abduction" vs "adduction"

[@Physiotutors]

Exactly A-D-duction to avoid confusion

[@jaideepnegi8622]

hello sir i just want to know that how much degree or rotation our joint can move like shoulder and than clavicle joint? i need this for 3d rigging

[@athletic_aditya_vyas]

what is the plane in shoulder lateral raise?

[@Physiotutors]

Frontal plane, sagittal axis

[@tabosiyanga5962]

but that last part on internal and external rotation was vise-versa.

[@hadiqanadeem]

In which plane does shoulder horizontal abduction occur?

[@Physiotutors]

+Hadiqa Nadeem in the transversal plane

[@hadiqanadeem]

Physiotutors actually i'm a DPT student & today I encountered someone saying that shoulder horizontal abduction occurs in frontal plane. Now how may I justify my answer that it occurs in transverse palne?

[@Physiotutors]

Just show them the video. The rest is logical thinking

[@hadiqanadeem]

Physiotutors ok

[@brittrugg2676]

Isn’t the frontal axis in the Sagittal plane?

[@Physiotutors]

The frontal axis is perpendicular to the sagittal plane, so it pierces the sagittal plane. The sagittal axis is also in the sagittal plane and the frontal axis in the frontal plane.

[@brittrugg2676]

Physiotutors ok thank you !

[@mannydefour4838]
