Common mistakes in Joints and the movements they allow
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Remembering the joint names but assigning them to the wrong anatomical examples.
- Classifying joints only by location rather than by the movement they allow.
- Assumes all synovial joints permit the same range of movement.
- Confuses neck rotation with hinge or ball-and-socket movement.
- Classifies joints by location alone instead of the movements they allow.
