Question

The ability of a joint to move actively through a range of motion is called
.
a. elasticity
b. stretching
c. Mobility
d. limberness

Answer 1

It is called a. elasticity

• A joint or a group of flexible joints' elasticity typically refers to its functional capacity to gently move through an unconstrained, pain-free range of apparent motion.
• The mobility of the sensitive tissues that typically adjoin the joint will affect the effective range of motion.
• Specific muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc are notable examples of delicate tissues.
