A ball and socket joint allows twisting and turning side to side. It humans this would be the hip joint
The principal movements occurring at this joint are flexion and extension of the leg, but some rotation also occurs in the flexed position.Flexion and extension of the knee joint are very free movements.

ball and socket joint
A ball and socket joint allows movement in all directions. This type of joint is formed when a bone with a rounded end fits into a socket-like structure of another bone, allowing for rotational as well as angular movements. Examples include the hip and shoulder joints.
A joint connects to bones and allows a range of movement that depends on what type of joint it is.
The medical term for excessive turning is "hyperkinesis." It refers to abnormal or excessive involuntary movements or muscle activity.
gliding movements
A ball and socket joint allows twisting and turning side to side. It humans this would be the hip joint
Ball and socket joint allows the above movements. Shoulder and hip joints are classic examples of this type of joints. Shoulder joint is much more mobile and circumduction movement is well marked in that joint.
pivot joint
This is called a gliding joint.ball and socket
The principal movements occurring at this joint are flexion and extension of the leg, but some rotation also occurs in the flexed position.Flexion and extension of the knee joint are very free movements.

Gliding Movements
In addition to simple flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) movements, the knee joint is designed to allow for rotation, gliding, and rolling movements.
