During a gym session, Aiden is practicing different movements and wants to match each movement with the correct plane of motion and axis of rotation. Which pairing of Planes of Motion and Axis of Rotation are correct?
Dorsiflexion/Plantarflexion → Sagittal plane, ML axis (ankle).
Radial/Ulnar deviation → Frontal plane, AP axis (wrist side‑to‑side).
Abduction/Adduction → Frontal plane, AP axis (shoulder lateral raise).
Medial/Lateral rotation → Transverse plane, Vertical axis (shoulder or hip rotation).
Flexion/Extension → Sagittal plane, ML axis (e.g., knee/hip in squat).
