Movement components of a physical action:

1. Plantarflexion: the extension of the both ankles where the toes are on the ground and the sole is in the air. Occurs in the sagittal plane and uses a biaxial joint of the ankle (hinge joint).

2. Protraction: Anterolateral movement of scapula on the thoracic wall. The shoulder can move anteriorly. Occurs in the sagittal plant and uses a triaxial joint of the shoulder (ball and socket joint).

3. Elevation: The right arms move in a superior direction. Occurs in the frontal plane and uses a triaxial joint of the shoulder (ball and socket joint).

4. Pronation: The right hand is in the face down position, facing an object. Occurs in the transverse plane and uses the uniaxial joint of the elbow (hinge joint).

5. Opposition: Bringing the thumb and little finger together with the object in between them. Occurs in the frontal plane by triaxial joints of the fingers (saddle joint in the thumb and condyloid joints in fingers).
