Flexion. Lateral flexion. Rotation circumduction
flexion, extention, adduction, abduction, circumduction.
Saddle Joint
The hip joint is a ball and socket joint so it possible to move the leg around in a 360 degree circle. The knee joint is a pivotal hinge joint so it can only move backwards and forwards with slight rotation.
Circumduction and rotation ARE possible around the hip joint.
Rotation involves, Rotation of the head, neck and lower limb and circumduction, abduction is the angular movements: abduction, adduction and circumduction of the upper limb at the shoulder
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction
Flexion. Lateral flexion. Rotation circumduction
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, hoizontal abduction/extention, internal rotation, external rotation, circumduction, adduction/flexion
flexion, extention, adduction, abduction, circumduction.
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.
Like shoulder joint, hip joint is also a ball and socket type of joint. It has adduction, abduction, flexion, extension, inward and out ward rotation and circumduction functions.
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, which is the type that allows the greatest range of movement. it allows the arm to move forward and backward (as when you swing your arms while walking); abduction and adduction (as in jumping jacks); and many intermediate movements.

Saddle Joint
Circumduction means moving something in the body with a joint movement. Examples are ball and sockets of the eyeball.
