Which Joints Permit the Widest Range of Movement

Question

Which joints permit the widest range of movement?
A) hinge
B) pivot
C) saddle
D) ball-and-socket

Accepted Answer

Ball-and-socket joints permit the widest range of movement as they allow movement in multiple planes, including rotational movements. The other options (hinge, pivot, and saddle joints) are more limited in the range of movement they allow.
