Joint stability



Joint stability refers to the resistance offered by various musculoskeletal tissues that surround a skeletal joint. Several subsystems ensure the stability of a joint. These are the passive, active and neural subsystems.[1]

The opposite of stability is instability. It is believed that one or more of the subsystems must have failed if joint instability occurs.
