A plane joint (arthrodial joint, gliding joint, plane articulation) is a synovial joint which, under physiological conditions, allows only gliding movement. Plane joints permit sliding movements in the plane of articular surfaces. The opposed surfaces of the bones are flat or almost flat, with movement limited by their tight joint capsules ...
Joint mobilization is a manual therapy intervention, a type of straight-lined, passive movement of a skeletal joint that addresses arthrokinematic joint motion (joint gliding) rather than osteokinematic joint motion. It is usually aimed at a 'target' synovial joint with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect. These techniques are used by a ...
Plane joints (or gliding joint) carpals of the wrist, acromioclavicular joint: These joints allow only gliding or sliding movements, are multi-axial such as the articulation between vertebrae. Hinge joints: elbow (between the humerus and the ulna) These joints act as a door hinge does, allowing flexion and extension in just one plane, i.e ...
In general, motion is classified according to the anatomical plane it occurs in. Flexion and extension are examples of angular motions, in which two axes of a joint are brought closer together or moved further apart. Rotational motion may occur at other joints, for example the shoulder, and are described as internal or external.

The cricoarytenoid joint allows for rotation and gliding motion. [1] The extent of rotation is significant, while the extent of gliding is limited. [1] The cricoarytenoid joint controls the abduction and adduction of the vocal cords. [1] It is moved by many of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx. [2]
The agreements declared the canal neutral and open to all vessels and provided for joint US-Panamanian control of the territory until the end of 1999, when Panama would be given full control.
