Joint Movement
Joint movement refers to the ability of joints in the body to bend, rotate, and move in various directions. Joints are the connections between bones, allowing for flexibility and mobility. Common types of joint movements include flexion, extension, rotation, and abduction. Each type of movement plays a crucial role in daily activities and physical performance.
The range of motion at a joint can be influenced by factors such as muscle strength, ligament flexibility, and joint structure. Maintaining healthy joint movement is essential for overall physical health and can help prevent injuries. Regular exercise and stretching can improve joint function and mobility.
