Question 1 of 5
A healthcare professional is reviewing a patient's medical record. The record indicates the patient has limited shoulder flexion on the left. Which plane of movement is limited?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Sagittal.' The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves, and movements in this plane involve flexion and extension. In this case, limited shoulder flexion on the left indicates a restriction in the forward and backward movement of the arm, which occurs in the sagittal plane.
Choice A, 'Horizontal,' is incorrect as it refers to movements parallel to the ground.
Choice C, 'Frontal,' is incorrect as it involves side-to-side movements.
Choice D, 'Vertical,' is incorrect as it typically refers to up and down movements.
