Which movement occurs in the sagittal plane?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To tackle the question, we start by identifying the planes of movement associated with each option. 
Option 1: Lateral flexion. This movement occurs in the frontal (coronal) plane, where the trunk bends to the side. It is not a sagittal-plane motion, so this option does not answer the question.
Option 2: Flexion. This is the classic movement in the sagittal plane, where a joint angle decreases (e.g., bending the knee or elbow forward). Since the sagittal plane is defined by movements that divide the body into left and right parts, flexion fits squarely here.
Option 3: Abduction. Abduction is a movement away from the midline of the body and typically occurs in the frontal plane (e.g., lifting the arm to the side). It does not occur in the sagittal plane, making this option incorrect for the given question.
Option 4: Radial deviation. This wrist movement toward the radius also occurs predominantly in the frontal plane, shifting the hand laterally toward the thumb, not in the sagittal plane. This distinction helps clarify why it’s not the correct sagittal-plane motion.
