Question
How are joint mobility and stability related?
Expert Solution

arrow_forward
Step 1
Joint mobility is defined as the degree to which the articulation or the meeting area of two bones is allowed to move. The joint's movement is restricted by the surrounding tissue, such as ligaments, muscles, and tendons. On the other hand, stability is related to control and is defined as the ability of joint position and movement's control by surrounding tissue's coordinated action. They both are related and regulate each other. More stable the joint is less mobility will it exhibit.
