    The plane that divides the body into left and right portions is known as the sagittal plane also known as the median plane. Sagittal plane bisects the body into two halves and the plane motion occurs around a coronal axis. Movements in the sagittal plane are the flexion and the extension. The Flexion movement involves the bending movement in which the relative angle between two adjacent segments decreases. The Extension movement involves a straightening movement in which the relative angle between the two adjacent segments increases. In general, both flexion and extension movement occur in many joints in the body, which include shoulder, wrist, vertebral, elbow, knee, foot, hand and hip.

    The sagittal plane has two subsections; they are the Midsagittal and the Parasagittal. The midsagittal runs through the median plane and divides along the line of symmetry while the parasagittal plane is parallel to the mid-line and divides the body into two unequal halves.
