Question
What is defined as the ability to move a joint through its normal range of motion?
Options
- AAgility
- BStability
- CFlexibility
- DHypomobility
Explanation
Flexibility is defined as the ability to move a joint through its normal or full range of motion, dependent on the extensibility of surrounding soft tissues.
Common mistakes.
- A. Agility is the ability to rapidly change direction and body position under control, which is a neuromuscular coordination skill unrelated to joint range of motion.
- B. Stability refers to the ability to control and maintain the position of a joint or body segment, which depends on strength and motor control rather than passive tissue extensibility.
- D. Hypomobility describes a condition of reduced or restricted joint range of motion - it is the pathological opposite of normal mobility, not a definition of the ability to move through a full range.
