CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa â The U.S. Navy hospital on Camp Lester was built at the height of the Cold War, a time when the U.S. military ran the island under an occupation government and issued its own yen currency for G.I.s to spend off base.
There are six types of synovial joints: gliding, condoloid, saddle, hinge, ball and socket, and pivot joints. Gliding joints allow for smooth movement in several directions along a plane or other smooth surface.The articulation is like two plates sliding across each other. An example would be the carpal bones of the wrist, which form a gliding synovial joint.liding joints allow for smooth movement in several directions along a plane or other smooth surface.

Kinesiologists use planes of motion to describe the movement of joints. Forward and backward movements, called flexion and extension, take place in the sagittal plane. Flexing and extending your elbows, for instance, is a sagittal-plane movement.he action of a pullup takes place primarily in two planes of motion -- the sagittal and frontal. Varying the grip changes the plane of motion. Gripping the bar with your palms facing forward creates more frontal plane movement in the arms.
