There are several ways in which joints are classified. The main classifications are in regard to how much they move. The classical terms are Synarthrotic, Amphiarthrotic, and Diarthrotic, where the Diarthrotic are the most movable.
The diarthrotic joints are also called freely moving, or synovial joints. These can be classified by how they move. There are monoaxial joints, which move in one plane, or around a central axis. Then there are biaxial joints that move in two planes of movement. And, finally, there are the multiaxial (sometimes called triaxial) joints that move in more than two planes. The monoaxial joints can be subdivided into hinge and pivot joints. The biaxial joints can be subdivided into ellipsoidal and saddle. And, the multiaxial joints can be subdivided into gliding and ball-and-socket joints.

What joints have full movement?
The joints in the body that have the most movement are called synovial joints, or freely moving joints. Technically they are classified as diarthrotic joints. The difference between synovial joints and the other types of joints is that they contain a synovial sheath that supplies them with synovium, a lubricating fluid. Of the six different types of synovial joints the ball-and-socket joints have the greatest amount of movement. The four ball-and-socket joints in the human body are the ileofemoral joints, hip joints, and the glenohumeral joints, the shoulders.
