The intercarpal joints are the joints between the carpal bones of the wrist. They are plane synovial joints or gliding joints, meaning that the bones produce movement by gliding over each other.
Gliding joints allow for small amounts of movement in multiple directions, such as sliding or twisting. Examples of gliding joints include the joints between the bones in the wrists and ankles.

The joints between the carpal bones are synovial joints, specifically gliding joints. These joints allow for small amounts of movement between the carpal bones to help with wrist flexibility and stability. The surrounding ligaments provide additional support to these joints.
Gliding Joints can be found in your ankles, wrists and spine.

The joints in your ankles and wrists are gliding joints. (Holding your forearm steady while your hand is upward and then wave side-to-side with your hand is an example).
Gliding joints are synovial joints that allow bones to glide past one another in multiple directions, without significant rotation or angular movement. These joints are found in the hands, wrists, and ankles, allowing for smooth and controlled movements. Examples of gliding joints include the carpal bones in the wrist and the tarsal bones in the foot.

Hinge joints
Yes, gliding joints are also called plane joints. These joints allow bones to glide smoothly past one another in various directions. They have limited range of motion but provide stability to the joints.
