the human body is made up of _____ connected by ______
rigid segments (bones)
rotational constraints (joints)
the shoulder (glenohumeral) joints
ball and socket joint
greatest range of motion and movement potential out of any joint in the human body
shoulder (glenohumeral) joint movements
flexion and extension:
-sagittal plane and mediolateral axis)
abduction and adduction:
-frontal plane and anteroposterior
medial and lateral rotation
-transverse plane and longitudinal axis
the elbow joints
ulnahumeral and radiohumeral joints
-hinge joints
superior and inferior radioulnar joints
-pivot joints (allows for supination and pronation)
the hip (acetabulofemoral) joints
ball and socket joints
hip (acetabulofemoral) joint movements
