PY - 2019 T2 - Joint Structure & Function: A Comprehensive Analysis, 6e AB - The skeletal muscles, like the joints, are designed to contribute to the body’s need for both mobility and stability. Muscles serve a mobility function by producing or controlling the movement of a bony lever around a joint axis; they serve a stability function by constraining extraneous movement of joint surfaces and through approximation of joint segments. Without muscle function, the body is incapable of either supporting itself against gravity or producing motion. SN - PB - F. A.
