There are three types of joints in the human body. Fixed joints don’t move, such as the places where skull bones meet. Some joints are slightly movable, such as the joints between the bones in your spine. Other joints are freely movable (synovial), such as the knee and elbow and other joints in your arms and legs. Synovial JointsThere are several types of synovial, or freely moving, joints in the human body. Synovial joints allow a wide range of motion to support how we move. Ball and socket joints are the most movable and are found in the shoulder and hip. Condyloid joints, seen in the wrist and ankles, have more limitations in how they move and are . Hinge joints, which only allow limited movementand toes. Sprains and StrainsSprains and strains sound alike and many people don’t understand the difference, but your musculoskeletal system does. Sprains occur at joints and strains happen to muscles. A sprain occurs when one or more of the bones at a joint are pushed too far sprain your ankle, you put weight on your ankle at an unstable angle and the bones are sprained. freelymovableslightly movablefixedA strain occurs when a muscle is pulled or stretched more than it can support or bear.
