Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The motion of bringing an eating utensil to the mouth using elbow flexion primarily occurs in the sagittal plane around a frontal axis. This is because the elbow joint primarily allows for flexion and extension, which occurs in the sagittal plane, and the axis of movement is perpendicular to the sagittal plane, which is the frontal axis.
