Your memory tricks are amazing! I've literally been binge watching your videos. You take the stress out of learning these things and make it fun, thank you!
This was a great video and very instructive! Thank you for sharing! I have a question; regarding the pushup motion: can we not say that this motion is a combination between a horizontal adduction and shoulder flexion? The combination would skew more towards horizontal adduction the wider the hands are from one another (or the wider the grip on the barbell in a bench press, the extreme example being the Guillotine press, which is all adduction) and more towards shoulder flexion the closer the hands are to one another (or the closer the grip on the bar on a bench press, the extreme example being a reverse grip bench, elbows fully tucked towards the torso and shoulder externally rotated)?
@@MemorizeMedical I have another question that perplexes me: as I understand it, these movements you describe (flexion, extension, abduction etc.) are in relation to the "standard anatomical position"; if we extend our elbow in the standard anatomical position, it's a movement in the sagittal plane, frontal axis. Now, if I understood it correctly, it doesn't matter what position the arm would be at, that elbow extension will always be, well, an extension; for example, if we grabbed onto a rubber band with both hands, abduct the arms at 90 degrees, and stretch the band by extending the elbows laterally, it would still be an extension (which is a movement in the sagittal plane), even though in that particular variation, the movement is occuring in the frontal plane. Am I understanding that correctly?
@michaellupu2080 Let me see if i can help. So the main solution here is to remember that flexion, extension, abduction and adduction aren't locked to a specific plane of motion. The real definition of flexion is that you're decreasing the angle of a joint, extension you increase the angle of a joint. So for the elbow this can happen in different planes: Elbow by your side and performing a dumbell curl: sagittal plane motion. Elbow by your side and you're scratching your belly: frontal plane motion. Shoulders abducted to 90 degrees, maybe like a king Kong beating his chest position: transverse So we do say flexion and extension happen in the sagittal plane because in the standard body position (anatomical position) they do, but you can flex and extend in different positions and planes if you want to. We don't live in the anatomical position, that's just the standard human position. But first and foremost, flexion means decreasing the angle in a joint, and when the human body is in its baseline position, that's movement in the sagittal plane. Hope that helps!
@@MemorizeMedical that was very instructive! So a cable tricep press/pushdown would be elbow extensions in the sagital plane (same as a skullcrusher, even if we're laying flat on a bench), while the variation I described, with arms abducted at 90 degrees, would be an elbow extension in the frontal plane, correct? This led me to my second question you already answered: horizontal adduction is a movement that can not be performed from the "standard anatomic position", so I wasn't sure about it. Now it makes sense. Thank you for taking the time!
@joer7149 Bending forward would be in the sagittal plane, because your vertebrae are rotating around an imaginary line that runs from Side to Side. For another weird and possibly gross example, imagine you're eating a rotisserie chicken and you skewer it through the side. It can only rotate forward or backwards. That is movement in the sagittal plane. Same if you skewered it through it's shoulder from the side, the wing could only rotate up or down, that's the sagittal plane. If the skewered went through it's belly, from front to back, it could only spin from side to side, that's the frontal plane. If you skewered it from top to bottom, it could only twist or twirl, that's the transverse plane. Now you can use this skewer idea for any joint to think about which movement is in each plane. Hope that makes some sense.
The backup plan is always just to memorize which exercises/movements occur in each plane and after a while you should be able to see a pattern that might help make sense of it.

Thank you for your support, and of course, good luck on your next test! 🙌🙏💪
Thank you for simplifying this for me!! I’ve been reading my textbook like crazy and just NOT understanding the concept until this video!
Happy to help! Honestly, I think this topic confuses almost everyone at first.
i have a kinesiology exam tmwr and this was super helpful! Ty!!! wish me luck haha
Good luck! 🤞🙌💪
Did you pass?
Your memory tricks are amazing! I've literally been binge watching your videos. You take the stress out of learning these things and make it fun, thank you!
School is stressful enough already. Glad I could help some 🙏🙏
Great! It was the most complicated topic for me but you explained it in a very clear and effective way. Thanks a lot.
Very glad to hear it helped!
You are the best who explains the planes
This made me understand it in less than 10 minutes 🎉
Thanks man! The explanation with the cues are so clear.
I have kinesiology class in a few hours.. this is really helpful!! Ty!!
You are the best who explains❤ the planes
This video helped so much
Thanks, you helped a lot!
Thank you so much ! This is so helpful 🙏🙏🙏
Great teaching ❤🎉
Awesome explanation!
Thank you! 🙏
hi can you provide videos regarding MMT (palpation) & goni measurements. I have an exam next week. thank you
Love this. Thank you
Thank you so much 💪🏽
this is awesome, thanks

Yes, I would say that's exactly right. 👍

I really appreciate your work sir
Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
this has been great! thank u
You made it understandable
Thank you!!!!
You are the best!
But what about antero posterior axis ?!
It's also known as the sagittal axis, it runs from the front to the back, movements include abduction and adduction performed in the frontal plane.
Made easy👍
Ty ,but what plane is just bending forward fall into , this is confusing me
@joer7149 Bending forward would be in the sagittal plane, because your vertebrae are rotating around an imaginary line that runs from Side to Side.

Hope that makes some sense.
@@MemorizeMedicalLove this rotisserie chicken analogy! It might be kinda gross but it certainly works for me very well! 😂
I still can't understand how to identify the axes or plane of the actions

same
i need good luck vibes.
