The frontal plane, also known as the coronal plane, runs side to side and splits the body into a front and a back. Its axis runs front to back and is called the sagittal axis.
Motions in this plane and around its axis are often, but not always, labelled as abduction and adduction.
The motions of the frontal plane include:
- Eversion and inversion of the ankle.
- Superior and inferior glide of the pubic symphysis.
- Superior and inferior glide of the sacroiliac.
- Lateral flexion of the vertebral column.
- Elevation and depression of the ribs (bucket-handle motion).
- Elevation and depression of the shoulder girdle and the clavicle in particular.
- Upward and downward rotation of the shoulder girdle and the scapula in particular.
