contrast to the upper limb, the lower limb is more restricted in
its movements, and the joints are tighter and fixed by strong
ligaments. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket type of synovial
joint between the head of the femur and acetabulum. The knee
joint is a hinge type of synovial joint that permits only limited
rotation. The talocrural joint is a hinge joint between the talus,
fibula, and tibia, only allow ing movements of flexion and
