Answer
Among joints of the body the gleno-humeral joint has more freedom of movement for the followin reasons:
1. It is a shallow ball and socket joint
2. Looseness of its articular capsule
3. The shallowness of the glenoid cavity
4. The relatively large head of the humerus
Work Step by Step
The hip joint and the shoulder are two genuine ball and socket joints in the body and as such permit the greatest freedom of movement. However the shoulder joint has more freedom of movement that even the hip joint. The shoulder joint allows, flexion, extension, hyper-extension, medial rotation, lateral rotation, and circumduction.
