Ankle inversion occurs in the frontal plane of body motion. It is when the ankle rolls inward, bringing the sole of the foot towards the midline of the body.
The twisting motion of the foot that turns the sole inward is known as inversion. It involves the movement where the sole of the foot faces inwards towards the midline of the body. This movement is often associated with ankle sprains or instability.
A pirouette is performed in the transverse plane of motion, as the body rotates around a vertical axis.
Trunk rotation occurs in the transverse plane of motion, where the body rotates around its vertical axis. This movement allows the trunk to twist to the left or right.
Hip adduction occurs in the frontal plane of motion. This movement involves bringing the leg toward the midline of the body.
Dorsiflexion is movement in the sagittal plane, where the foot or hand is bent upwards towards the body.

transverse plane
Ankle dorsiflexion occurs in the sagittal plane. This movement involves flexion of the ankle joint, bringing the toes closer to the shin. It is an essential component of walking, running, and various lower body movements.

horizontal/trasverse
The range of motion in the shoulder abduction plane of motion is typically around 180 degrees, allowing the arm to move away from the body sideways.
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.
Trunk rotation occurs in the transverse plane of motion, where the body rotates around its vertical axis. This movement allows the trunk to twist to the left or right.
Hip adduction occurs in the frontal plane of motion. This movement involves bringing the leg toward the midline of the body.
Dorsiflexion is movement in the sagittal plane, where the foot or hand is bent upwards towards the body.
Horizontal extension is in the transverse plane of motion, which runs horizontally across the body from side to side. This movement involves extending the arms or legs outwards away from the midline of the body.
The ankle is structured for stability while the wrist is designed for mobility. The ankle's limited range of motion helps support the body's weight and provides stability during weight-bearing activities. In contrast, the wrist requires a broader range of motion for activities that involve fine motor skills and dexterity.
