Question

The following movements occur in the frontal and transverse planes, respectively:

a. Flexion and abduction
b. Adduction and rotation
c. Rotation and adduction
d. Extension and abduction

Answer 1

The movements in the frontal and transverse planes are flexion and abduction, and adduction and rotation respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The movements that occur in the frontal and transverse planes, respectively, are:

1. Flexion and abduction
2. Adduction and rotation
3. Rotation and adduction
4. Extension and abduction

In the frontal plane, flexion refers to bending a joint so that the angle between bones decreases, whereas abduction refers to moving a limb away from the midline of the body. In the transverse plane, adduction refers to moving a limb towards or across the midline of the body, while rotation involves twisting or turning of a body part.
