1
Elbow Arms & shoulders
The elbow's hinge-and-rotation design lets the forearm bend and turn simultaneously, but this dual role concentrates repetitive stress on a small set of tendons.
-
2
Shoulder Arms & shoulders
The shoulder trades stability for the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body, relying heavily on the rotator cuff muscles rather than bone to stay centered.
-
3
Wrist & Hand Arms & shoulders
The wrist and hand pack more small joints, tendons, and nerves into a small space than almost any other body region, enabling fine motor control at the cost of frequent overuse injury.

4
Knee Hips & legs
The knee is the body's largest joint and one of its most frequently injured, relying on ligaments and surrounding muscles rather than bony shape for stability.
