Question

What problems will we face if we do not have gliding joint in your body ?

Answer 1

The problems you'll face if you don't have gliding joints in your body are :

• You won't be able to move your hips and shoulders.

• They are the most movable type of joints in the human body.

• Gliding joints are present between the surfaces of two flat bones which are found together by the ligaments.

• Some of the bones in your wrists and ankles move by gliding against each other , so they even won't move.

• Gliding movements happens as relatively flat bone surfaces move past each other but they produces very little movement of the bones.

• Angular movements are produced when the angle between the bones of a joint changes.

• They include extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction.
