sagitall (side view) just think if you had a video camera on the side of someone you would see movement take place from this view
The range of motion in the shoulder flexion plane of motion is typically around 180 degrees, allowing the arm to move forward and upward from the side of the body.
Shoulder circumduction is a multiplanar motion that occurs in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes. It involves a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and internal and external rotation at the shoulder joint.
Flexion of the arm at the shoulder occurs primarily in the sagittal plane. This movement involves raising the arm forward and upward, decreasing the angle between the arm and the front of the body. It typically involves the use of muscles such as the deltoid and biceps brachii.
Though flexion and extension can occur in a variety of planes depending on the body's position, if you have a body in anatomical position, then all flexion and extension occurs on the sagittal plane.

Trunk flexion occurs in the sagittal plane of body motion. This movement involves bending the torso forward, bringing the chest toward the thighs. It primarily involves the muscles of the back and abdomen.
The shoulder flexion and extension plane greatly impact the range of motion and function in the upper body. Flexion allows the arm to move forward and above the head, while extension allows the arm to move backward. These movements are essential for activities like reaching, lifting, and throwing. Limited range of motion in these planes can restrict daily tasks and athletic performance. Strengthening and stretching exercises can help improve flexibility and function in the upper body.
Lateral flexion of the trunk involves moving the shoulders left or right towards the hips, therefore it is exercised in the frontal or coronal plane of motion.
Simply stated, flexion is when the angle around a joint is decreased from it's normal position (from the anatomical position) in the SAGITTAL plane. The sagittal plane is an imaginary line that splits your body into left and right pieces. All flexion moves in this plane. Ex. Flexion of the bicep requires you to pull your forearm (decrease the angle) toward your head. That motion running along the side of your body is also in the sagittal plane
The glenohumeral joint moves in multiple planes of motion, including flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and internal/external rotation. This allows for a wide range of movement in the shoulder joint.
