I LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENT

• these are done by moving the body from one place to another
• the individual is propelled either forward, backward, or to the
side causing them to be in a different location.

Bending or Flexing Stretching or Extending Lifting or Raising

is moving the muscles is done by straightening or elevating a part of the body,

body parts meet. body from the joints. legs.

Twisting Rotating or Encircling Swinging

moving a part of the body done by moving a part of the is a pendural movement
around a long axis, usually body around axis. below an axis.
for the head and body.

III ANATOMICAL MOVEMENTS

• can be defined as the act or instance of moving the bodily

structures or as the change of position in one or more of the
joints of the body.
• joint actions are described in relation to the anatomical
position which is the universal starting position for
describing movements.

III ANATOMICAL MOVEMENTS
in the human body there are three planes of motion in which the various
joint movements can be classified.
Sagittal (anteroposterior) plane
this plane is vertical and bisects the
body from front to back. dividing it
into right and left symmetrical
halves. for movement to occur in the
sagittal plane rotation about the
horizontal axis (transverse axis)
must take place.
Frontal (coronal) plane
this plane bisects the body
laterally from side to side,
dividing the body into front
and back halves. movement in
the frontal plane takes place
about the anteroposterior axis
(frontal axis) must take place.
Transversal (horizontal) plane
this plane divides the body
horizontally into superior and
inferior halves. movement in
this plane takes place about the
longitudinal axis (vertical axis.

there are also three axes of rotation

where movement can occur.

• longitudinal axis
• transverse axis
• frontal axis
