All of the listed factors contribute to the limitation of movement of a joint. The joint capsule, which surrounds the joint, provides stability and limits excessive movement. The shape of the articular surfaces determines the range of motion of the joint. Muscles, tendons and other structures near the joint can limit its movement by restricting the space available for movement or by providing resistance during movement. Tendon attachments also limit joint movement by providing resistance to the pull of the muscles that move the joint. Therefore, all of the answers are correct.
