Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe the movements that occur at different types of joints.

Show transcript
A hinge joint only allows flexion and extension to occur. A ball and socket joint allows all types of movement. Flexion and extension occur at the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle joints. Abduction and adduction occur at the shoulder and hip joints. Rotation and circumduction only occur at the shoulder, whilst plantar flexion and dorsiflexion only occur at the ankle.
