Flexibility
The shoulder joint provides the greatest range of motion and flexibility compared to other joints in the body. Its ball-and-socket structure allows for movements in multiple directions.
The maximum angle through which a joint can move is influenced by factors such as the type of joint, the surrounding anatomical structures, and individual flexibility. Generally, a healthy joint can move within a specific range of motion, which varies between individuals. The maximum angle is limited by the joint's anatomical structure and the integrity of the supporting ligaments and muscles.
No, the toe is not an immovable joint. It is made up of small bones that are connected by ligaments, allowing for movement and flexibility.
No, the knuckle is not an immovable joint. It is a hinge joint that allows for movement and flexibility in the fingers.
joint; set of joints

hyper mobility, joint laxity, body build, and flexibility
A joint's range of motion cannot be maintained with age. A joint's range of motion will be lost if the joint is not used regularly. Flexibility decreases with age because muscle strength increases. Flexibility decreases at a rate predetermined at birth
Yes. Flexibility is the ability to move a joint through it's complete range of movement and the degree of flexibility is specific to each joint. Flexibility is very important to avoid injuries during activities. Also, a lot of things ballet dancers do require flexibility. You can become better at everything from arabesques to leaps with more flexibility.However you don't necessarily need to be flexible to start ballet. Improving flexibility is relatively easy compared to improving strength or extension or turnout.

Range of motion exercises help maintain normal joint function by increasing and preserving joint mobility and flexibility.
Flexibility is specific to individual joints and muscle groups within the body, rather than being a general characteristic of the entire body. Different people may have different levels of flexibility in each joint or muscle group, depending on their genetics, physical activity, and overall health. Stretching and regular exercise can help improve flexibility in targeted areas.
Flexibility is the range of motion possible around a specific joint or series of articulations. Flexibility is specific to a given joint or movement. A person may not be able to function normally if a joint lacks normal movement. The ability to move a joint through an adequate range of movement is important for daily activities in general as well a sports performance. For example, a sprinter may be handicapped by tight, inelastic hamstring muscles since the ability to flex the hip joint will be limited, thus shortening stride length. Activities such as gymnastics, ballet, diving, karate, and yoga require improved flexibility or even the ability to hyperextend some joints for superior performance.On the other hand, most leisure or recreational activities require only normal amounts of flexibility. The idea that good flexibility is essential for successful performance is based on anecdotal rather than scientific evidence.Adequate range of movement may be more important for long term injury prevention. Individuals involved with physical activity who have poor flexibility (specific or general) risks exceeding the extensibility limits of the musculoskeletal unit. Once flexibility is assessed and flexibility insufficiency are identified, a stretching program can be customized, emphasizing those areas in need of improvement.
