Lateral tilt occurs in which plane?

Explanation:
Lateral tilt is a side-to-side tilting of the trunk or pelvis, which occurs in the frontal (coronal) plane. This plane separates the body into front and back; movements like side bending or tipping toward one side take place within it. The sagittal plane handles forward and backward motions (flexion/extension), while the transverse (horizontal) plane handles rotation. So, the tilt to the left or right happens in the frontal plane.
