This permits movement in two planes, allowing flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction. Examples are: the wrist-joint, metacarpophalangeal joints ( metacarpal bones and the phalanges) and metatarsophalangeal joints (joints between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the proximal phalanges of the toes). Sports: Baseball, tennis, soccer, horseback riding and anything that uses the hands and feet.
