your body that are not even close to the feet. When one has flat feet, the ankles tend to overpronate. Because there are no arches to hold the foot up, the ankle falls inward. This means that if one with over pronation were to squat, the knees would go inward and hit each other. Over pronation in the ankles makes the the legs turn inwards which eventually leads to the hips internally rotating. In the long run, this misalignment could severely affect the back and neck, leading to scoliosis and…

elbow can be split into three major joints including the humeroulnar, humeroradial, and the proximal radioulnar joint. Consisting of a uniaxial hinge joint that helps with forearm rotation. With 2 degrees of freedom allowing flexion to 135 degree, pronation, and supination. These joints mainly rely on ligaments for most of their stability, by the medial and lateral collateral ligaments.(2) Additional stability is presumed by the muscle tendons. The forearm tendons also known as extensors…
