Side Lifts operate in which plane?
Correct Answer:
Frontal plane
Explanation:
Side lifts move the limb away from the body's midline to the side, which is an abduction in the frontal plane. The frontal plane slices the body into front and back halves, and the movements that occur in this plane are side-to-side actions like lifting the leg or arm away from the midline. Movements in the sagittal plane are forward and backward (flexion/extension), while the transverse plane handles rotational movements. The oblique option isn’t a primary plane used for standard classifications. So side lifts happen in the frontal plane.
