What is the simplest joint movements?
gliding movements
What are the simplest joint movement?
Gliding Movements
What does a knee joint do?
In addition to simple flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) movements, the knee joint is designed to allow for rotation, gliding, and rolling movements.
What joint helps the body to make a laurge range of movements?
ball and socket joint
What is joint arthrokinematics?
the general term for the specific movements of joint surfaces. Normal joint surface movement is necessary to ensure long-term joint integrity. (Joint surface movements are sometimes called joint play motions or component motions). Joint surfaces move with respect to one another by simultaneously (1) rolling, (2) gliding, and (3) spinning.
What are the 4 joints?
the movements are: Washer joint- twist Saddle joint- up and down Hinge joint- open and close Ball and Socket joint- circle
What are two different joints found in the knee including the bone marking and movements produced by these movements?
The two joints are the tibiofemoral and the patellofemoral joints. The tibiofemoral joint is formed by the distal end of the femur particularly the lateral and medial femoral condyles, and the proximal end of the tibia particularly the lateral and medial tibial plateaus. Movements available at this joint are flexion & extension, internal & external rotation. The patellofemoral joint is formed by the articulation between the trochlea of the femur and the articular surfaces of the patella. Movements available at this joint are basically gliding movements that accompany tibiofemoral joint movements, namely; superior, inferior, lateral & medial gliding.
What is the function of flexibility?
The range of movements at,across and around the joint.
A joint allows the body to make a wide range of movements?
A joint connects to bones and allows a range of movement that depends on what type of joint it is.

Is a neck a joint?
The neck is indeed a gliding joint. This is because it does not have to move in rigid movements in any particular direction.
