Which movement is associated with the coronal plane?

The correct association of movements with the coronal plane is most accurately described by the left and right movement. The coronal plane, also known as the frontal plane, divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions. Movements that occur in this plane primarily involve lateral motions, meaning movements that direct the body or its segments toward the left or right side.

For example, side bends of the torso and lateral arm raises occur in the coronal plane. This plane is essential in activities that require lateral stabilization and movements. The other movements mentioned, such as upward or downward (which relate more to the sagittal plane) and forward or backward (which also correspond to movements in the sagittal plane), do not distinctly characterize the lateral nature of the coronal plane. Shear movements are more about translational forces and do not fit neatly into a specific plane's categorization.
