Mastering Planes and Axes in Osteokinematic Movement

This video introduces the basic anatomy of planes and axes, essential for describing osteokinematic movements in joints. It covers the sagittal, frontal, and transversal planes, explaining how movements occur around different axes. The video also discusses the degrees of freedom in joints like the shoulder, hip, and knee, detailing specific movements such as flexion, extension, abduction, and rotation. The tutorial concludes with a brief overview of further learning resources in physiotherapy.
