Flexibility
that they allow for a wide range of movement. The articulations in the appendicular skeleton, such as the shoulder and hip joints, are synovial joints that are designed for mobility. These joints have a wide range of motion due to their unique structure and ability to rotate and move in multiple directions. This allows for complex movements such as walking, running, and grasping objects.
Several joints allow range of motion, it depends on what kind of range of motion you are talking about. Ball & socket joints (such as the shoulder) allow circumduction, abduction and adduction; hinge joints (such as knee and elbow joints) allow flexion and extention.
To permit or prevent movement of two articulating joint surfaces in the body in a specific range of motion.
The joints which allow the least amount of movement are Fibrous Joints - also known as immovable joints. These joints are held firmly together by strong connective tissue and allow no or very little movement. Examples are the joints between the bones in the skull and the teeth.
To allow for and prevent movement in a specific range of motion depending on the shape and orientation of the joint surface.
