humeroradial joint
No; the ball-and-socket joint is a multi-axial (specifically triaxial) joint because it allows motion in 3 planes.Flexion-extensionAbduction-adductionRotation
The type of joint that is being used. Such as a hinge joint it only has only one way to move, back and forth. But the ball and socket joint can move in three axis to allow a better range in motion.
i think its the ball joint
A goniometer is a device used to measure the range of motion in a joint. Medical professionals use them to determine the range of motion in human joints, while they can also be used to measure angles in inanimate objects.
Goniometer
Generally speaking, a goniometer is device used to measure angles. Goniometers are most frequently used in medicine to determine range of motion in a patient's joint. For instance, an injured person may lose some flexibility because of an accident. A goniometer could be used in such a case to help determine the extent of the damage. During rehabilitation, a goniometer would also be used to measure what progress has been achieved in returning back to normal range of motion.Goniometers are cheaper and less accurate than inclinometers and other more technical instruments used for determining a patient's range of motion.
A procedure in which a joint motion were measured by an instrument. Measuring instruments includes Goniometer and Inclinometer.

Paul D. Harradine has written: 'The accuracy of the digital goniometer in measuring the first metatarsophalangel joint angle'
Typically, there are 2 reasons: 1. To check for an increase/decrease in swelling 2. To check range of motion (using a goniometer) Usualy, this is done after surgery or injury to the joint. Measurements are used to determine how well you are healing as well as how you are progressing in treatment (e.g. physical therapy).
humeroradial joint
Hypermobility is the term meaning excessive joint range of motion.
plane joint
Range of motion exercise refers to activity aimed at improving movement of a specific joint. This motion is influenced by several structures: configuration of bone surfaces within the joint, joint capsule, ligaments, and.
Range of motion exercises move each muscle and joint.
