rörelseplanet

Rörelseplanet is a term used in biomechanics and kinesiology to describe the plane of motion in which a specific movement occurs. It is a conceptual framework that helps analyze and understand the way the body moves. There are three primary planes of motion, often visualized as imaginary flat surfaces that pass through the body.

The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves. Movements occurring in this plane are typically forward and backward motions, such as flexion and extension of the limbs, like bending the elbow or lifting the leg forward.

The frontal plane, also known as the coronal plane, divides the body into front and back halves. Movements in this plane are sideways motions, such as abduction and adduction, like moving the arms away from the body or bringing them back towards it.

The transverse plane, or horizontal plane, divides the body into upper and lower halves. Movements in this plane involve rotational or twisting actions, such as turning the head from side to side or rotating the torso.

Understanding the rörelseplanet is crucial for physical therapists, coaches, athletes, and anyone involved in movement analysis. It aids in identifying potential muscle imbalances, designing effective exercise programs, preventing injuries, and improving athletic performance by ensuring movements are executed efficiently and safely within their intended planes.
