Question

Are other joints more susceptible to injury due to mobility of the joint? What diseases or injuries are most common in these joints?

Answer 1

Answere : Improper joint mobility can leads to arthritis, inflammation and joint pain. Joint mobility is the ability of joints to move through full and functional range of motion.

We need our joints to be move normally for our daily activities as well as exercises. When our joints are limited we move in different way to compensate, which increase our risk of injury. Our joint injury can be limited by : shortness and tightness of surrounding muscles, prolonged and sustained postures, tighten of connective tissues etc.

The joints which are most commonly effected by reduced joint mobility are :

I. Ankle : Linked with overuse injuries of foot and ankle

II.Thoracic spine : Reduced extension and rotation commonly contribute to lower back and neck pain.

III. Hip : Contribute to jnjury such as : adductor tear, adductor tendinopathy and osteitis pubis as well as lower back and knee issues.
