What allows a greater range of motion around a joint?
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.
What joint is a modified ball-and-socket joint and range of motion is biaxial?
humeroradial joint
What is the joint in your thumb that gives the tiumb its range of movement?
carpometacarpal joint which is a saddle joint
What type of joint has the greatest range of movement and is located in the shoulder?
ball-and-socket joint
What are the 4 kind of movable joints . Describe the type of movement each joint allows?
The four kinds of movable joints are hinge joint, ball-and-socket, pivot joint, and gliding joint.Movable joint: allows forward or backward.Ball-and-socket joint: allows the greatest range of motion.Pivot joint: allows one bone to rotate around another.Gliding joint: allows one bone to slide over another.~ A. K. =)
What is the range of motion that can be achieved by a joint called?
flexibility
What is the function of flexibility?
The range of movements at,across and around the joint.
What is the amount of movement you can make at a joint?
It depends on the joint. The hip joint, for instance, has far more range of motion than the knee joint.
Exercises that put each joint through its full arc of motion are called?
Range of motion exercises move each muscle and joint.
What allows a greater range of motion around a joint?
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.
When a joint is immobilized for an extended period of time the muscles around that joint undergo a process called?
Atrophy
How might being too strong actually restrict a joints range of motion?
If the muscles around a joint are very large, the joint just can not fully move. It would be like wearing a tight band around the joint. The muscles just will get in the way.
A joint allows the body to make a wide range of movements?
A joint connects to bones and allows a range of movement that depends on what type of joint it is.
What joint is a modified ball-and-socket joint and range of motion is biaxial?
humeroradial joint
What is the joint in your thumb that gives the tiumb its range of movement?
carpometacarpal joint which is a saddle joint
What is the name of the neck joint?
The medical term for a neck joint is called a pivot joint. This is when one bone rotates around another bone in a circular motion.
What is an active range of motion?
Active range of motion is when a joint is moved through its range with the person moving the joint him or herself. Passive range of motion is when something besides the muscles of the joint does the moving. So if I were to bend someone else's knee (and they didn't help) it would be passive range of motion. But if the person just moves his or her joint, then it is active.
