The statement that the more movement a joint allows, the stronger the joint is false. In fact, some of the strongest joints in the body (such as the sutures in the skull) allow very little to no movement. The strength of a joint is determined by its structure, including the shapes of the articulating surfaces and the strength of the ligaments and other supportive tissue.
