Joint Laxity
Hinge joints are found at the elbow and knee and they only allow movement in one direction or in only one plane.
elbow, wrist, shoulder, knee
Try the joints: hip, knee, ankle.
Movable joints can be moved, immovable joints can not.
the knee and elbow, hinge joints and only move on one plane (they can only flex and extend)
A joint is where two sections of something come together. With bones, your elbow, knee, jaw, fingers, etc. are all mobile joints, because they move. A rigid joint would be where the bones don't move; your skull has various bones that connect but do not move.
Hinge bones are called hinge bones because they resemble hinges that are on a door. They move on one level like elbow or knee movement.
A Joint (I)?! Elbow, hip, knee, finger, jaw, neck, ankle A Joint (I)?!
All joints except immovable joints allow bones to move.
these articulations are responsible for movement in all joints that need extension and flextion. examples: elbows and knees They can move in one angle, back and forth. The elbow joint is an example, it does flexion and extension. It swings back and forth</zzz> Hinge joints, such as the elbows or knees allow for motion in one plane. They are not easily broken. Except for sliding doors, most doors are hinge doors. The hinges open and close the door. <a class="h2heading h3" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" name="ANS2:">ANS2:</a> Body hinge joints connect long bones and allow movement. Two hinge joints that you should be familiar with are the elbow and knee. All of your fingers are connected by hinge joints, the hinge bone is mostly the knee bone and helps you move and jump around.
The most typical hinge joints is the elbow, which attaches the Humerus to the Radius and Ulna.Some say the interphalangeal joints between the bones in your fingers are hinge joints; others call them condyloid jointsHinge joints that are a bit atypical, as they allow some limited rotation include the:knee, or tibiofemoral joint. This is the largest hinge joint. The patellofemoral joint, between the kneecap and thighbone, is not a hinge joint.. The knee is sometimes considered a modified hinge joint or a pivotal hinge joint.The Ankle is not a good example, its a saddle joint.The jaw (the temperomandibular joint) is sometimes called a hinge joint, but it has a gliding component as well and has more motion than a typical hinge joint.Hinge joints are synovial joints that only move on one plane (ex you can bring your arm up at your elbow but you can bend it sideways without rotating your shoulder.Generally, a hinge joint is found between two bones that move in two opposite directions (flexion and extension), as opposed to in many directions. For comparison, the hip joint and shoulder are not hinge joints, since they move the adjoining limb in several directions.
