Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ball and socket joints, such as the hip and shoulder joints, allow for the widest range of movement as they allow for movement in multiple planes, including rotation, flexion/extension, and abduction/adduction. Hinge joints, such as the elbow and knee, only allow for movement in one plane, while pivot and saddle joints permit a limited range of movement.
