It depends on the joint. The hip joint, for instance, has far more range of motion than the knee joint.
It is called ROM, or Range of Motion
As far as I know angular movement.
I don't
The ball-and-socket joint allows the greatest amount of movement, like the shoulder or hip.
A pivot joint allows movement around the joint. The movement is a pivot or turning. A pivot joint is found between the first and second vertebral joint. This allows you to turn your head.A pivot joint can make a rapid turning motion. When you look from one side to the other side you are making a pivotal movement. A dancer turns rapidly on 1 foot is making a pivotal movement. If you make it quick turn to go back the way you were coming that is a pivotal movement.
The movement permitted by a hinge joint is extension (opening) or flexion (closing). The elbow is a hinge joint. When you "flex your muscle", you preform a flexion movement (closing). The opposite is extension as in handing a cup to someone..
There are six joints that have movement. The plvotal joint is what allows up and down movement.
To increase the angle of a joint is extension. To decrease the angle of a joint is flexion. (plato users the answer is A.)
Abarticulation is joint movement which allows for a large amount of freedom in positioning, or the dislocation of a joint.

Secondary cartilaginous joints. GLIDING
A joint connects to bones and allows a range of movement that depends on what type of joint it is.
There are six joints that have movement. The plvotal joint is what allows up and down movement.
The medial roataion is the movement of Glenohumeral joint .
A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact.They are constructed to allow movement and provide mechanical support, and are classified structurally and functionally.so joints do not move, they allow movement.
A saddle joint provides the closest to omnidirectional movement.
To increase the angle of a joint is extension. To decrease the angle of a joint is flexion. (plato users the answer is A.)
For a hip joint to work muscular force is required however the joint itself is not a muscular force rather it is a configuration of bone endings and connective tissue that allows for a certain amount of movement.
