The Trochoidal joints permit rotational movement around a long axis as with the rotation of the radius at the radioulnar joint. i.e. ( the neck)

What is flexion and rotation?
Flexion is when you flex your arms, thighs, and other muscles. Rotation is when you rotate your joints, bending or twisting you muscles.
What is the prime mover for rotation of trunk?
In your trunk twist the lumber vertebrae mostly take part. In this the facet joints are used. The orthopedic surgeons use the term, facet joint. The anatomists call it as zygapophyseal joints.
Where in the body would you find pivot joints?
The rotation of the atlas on the axis (first two vertebrae)
What joints do you use when you play the piano?
Your hand joints ?
What are the types of rotary joints?
There are four main types of rotary joints. They are: proximal radioulnar joint, distal radioulnar joint, median atlanto-axial joint, and the head. These joints only promote rotation as opposed to all directions of movement.
What causes the front tires to wear on the inside?
wheel aligment or ball joints Lack of rotation and hard cornering.
How many degrees of rotation do the bones in your body have?
Depends which bone, or more importantly, which joint you are referring to. The atlantoaxial joint (highest 2 vertebrae is neck) allow alot of rotation, similarly, the radiohumeral joint (one of the joints at the elbow) has a fair bit of rotation. Alternatively, lower lumbar intervertebral joints have little rotational component. Thus the question is much too broad to provide an appropriate answer.
How does the shoulder and elbow move in different ways?
They move the same way - both are hinge-type joints with moderate rotation potential.
What type of joints do you use on stairs?
you oviously use the joints in your knees and the motion of your hips to propel the movement of your legs
Where are the ellipsoidal in the body?
Specifically ellipsoidal joints are joints in the body which by their shape and ligaments allow only flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.Rotation is impossible. The wristis an example of this type of joint.
What are the differences in the 5 movable joints?
Ball-and-socket joints allow movement in all directions. They are the hip and shoulder joints. Hinge joints allow movement in one direction only. They are elbow, knee, and finger joints. A pivot joint allows partial rotation of the head. It is located between the first two vertebrae in the neck. Gliding joints, where the bones move a short distance sliding against each other, are in the wrist and ankle.
What is the movement of the ball socket?
Ball-and-socket joints are said to be multiaxial in their range of movements as they can move in a number of planes as well as perform rotation and circumduction.
