Does the hip joint allow a greater freedom of movement than the shoulder joint?
No. The shoulder joint is a ball socket. This allows the arms to move 360°. On the other hand, the hip can only swivel and rotate in place.
Which type of joint allows movement in only one place?
a hinge joint.A hinge joint like the one in your knee or elbow will allow you to move your arm or leg in only one direction. However, a ball and socket joint like the ones found in your hip or shoulder will allow movement in all directions.
