What plane of movement is Circumduction?
Circumduction. Circumduction is the movement of a body region in a circular manner, in which one end of the body region being moved stays relatively stationary while the other end describes a circle. It involves the sequential combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction at a joint.
Is Circumduction in the transverse plane?
Circumduction, which involves making a circle with a limb or segment, combines sagittal (flexion, extension) and frontal plane (abduction, adduction) motions. All movements defined in this slide show are rotational movement, even though we use the word rotation only for transverse plane motions.
What movement of the shoulder joint occurs in the transverse plane?
Twisting or rotational movements occur in the transverse plane, such as twisting your head from side to side. Front to back movements occur in the sagittal plane, such as walking, pushing, pulling and squatting.
Where does Circumduction occur?
shoulder joint
Circumduction – this is where the limb moves in a circle. This occurs at the shoulder joint during an overarm tennis serve or cricket bowl.
What plane does dorsiflexion occur in?
The key movement of the ankle joint complex are plantar- and dorsiflexion, occurring in the sagittal plane; ab-/adduction occurring in the transverse plane and inversion-eversion, occurring in the frontal plane8 (Figure 3).
What movements occur in the sagittal plane?
Sagittal plane – a vertical plane that divides the body into left and right sides. Flexion and extension types of movement occur in this plane, eg kicking a football, chest pass in netball, walking, jumping, squatting.
What actions occur in the sagittal plane?
Sagittal plane – a vertical plane that divides the body into left and right sides. Flexion and extension types of movement occur in this plane, eg kicking a football, chest pass in netball, walking, jumping, squatting. Frontal plane – passes from side to side and divides the body into the front and back.
Which of the following movements is an example of Circumduction movement?

What is shoulder circumduction?
Circumduction is the orderly combination of shoulder movements so that the hand traces a circle and the arm traces a cone. In order it is produced by shoulder flexion, abduction, extension and abduction (or the reverse). See also movements of the arm.
What plane does adduction occur in?
Frontal plane – passes from side to side and divides the body into the front and back. Abduction and adduction movements occur in this plane, eg jumping jack exercises, raising and lowering arms and legs sideways, cartwheel.
What axis is sagittal plane?
Sagittal axis runs through the body horizontally from the left to right. Frontal axis runs through the body horizontally from the back to front. Movement in the sagittal plane about the frontal axis allows for front somersaults/forward roll.
