Saddle joints are said to be biaxial, [5] allowing movement in the sagittal and frontal planes. [2] Examples of saddle joints in the human body include the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb, [6] [7] the sternoclavicular joint of the thorax, [8] the incudomalleolar joint of the middle ear, [9] and the calcaneocuboid joint of the heel.

Saddle joints: Carpometacarpal or trapeziometacarpal joint of thumb (between the metacarpal and carpal - trapezium), sternoclavicular joint: Saddle joints, where the two surfaces are reciprocally concave/convex in shape, which resemble a saddle, permit the same movements as the condyloid joints but allows greater movement. Ball and socket joints
The sternoclavicular joint or sternoclavicular articulation is a synovial saddle joint between the manubrium of the sternum, and the clavicle, and the first costal cartilage. The joint possesses a joint capsule , and an articular disc , and is reinforced by multiple ligaments.
These joints allow biaxial movements [3] — i.e., forward and backward, or from side to side, but not rotation. Radiocarpal joint and metacarpophalangeal joint are examples of condyloid joints. An example of an Ellipsoid joint is the wrist; it functions similarly to the ball and socket joint except is unable to rotate 360 degrees; it prohibits ...
Joints of the hand, X-ray. The bones in each carpal row interlock with each other and each row can therefore be considered a single joint. In the proximal row a limited degree of mobility is possible, but the bones of the distal row are connected to each other and to the metacarpal bones by strong ligaments that make this row and the metacarpus a functional entity.
Cycling is a great cardio option because it’s low impact, putting less pressure on your joints, ... 4:00-4:30: Out of the saddle second recovery for 30 seconds, RPM 65 (moderate intensity)
An example is the joints of the vertebral column only allow for small movements between adjacent vertebrae, but when added together, these movements provide the flexibility that allows the body to twist, or bend to the front, back, or side. [2]
