Hello,

I have a question, the Frontal plane is top to bottom and left to right? The
sagittal plane is top to bottom and front to back. (If that is not right
please correct me) Is movement classified as parallel or perpendicularm to
the stated plane? I would think abduction of the leg would be in the Frontal
plane and flexion of the leg would be in the Sagittal Plane. Am I correct?

Thanks
