The center of gravity does not contribute to individual stability.

• True

• False

• True

• False

The thumb is the only saddle joint in the human body.

• True

• False

Range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object.

• True

• False

Hyperextension bends the joint in the opposite direction as flexion.

• True

• False

The knee has the same kind of joint as the elbow.

• True

• False

Why do women typically tend to have slightly greater stability than men?

• Women are shorter than men, and shorter people are more stable.

• Men have more muscle mass in their lower bodies that makes them stiff and less stable.

• Women have lower centers of gravity, and lower centers of gravity provide more stability.

• The increased muscle mass in their upper bodies makes their centers of gravity difficult to find.
