What it is Filled
In anatomy, a connection between bones or cartilage that allows movement or provides stability, classified as fibrous, cartilaginous or synovial, such as the knee, hip, shoulder, finger joints and syndesmoses.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain joints in general anatomical terms and point to clinicians for pain, injury or swelling, without diagnosis.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Connects bones
- Varies in mobility
- Synovial joints have fluid-filled capsules
- Common site of pain and injury
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Diagnose joint injuries or diseases for a specific person.
- Recommend manipulations, injections or treatments in place of a clinician.
- Push a person to exercise or move through acute joint pain or injury.
- Promote unproven joint supplements or cures.
Only with a human decision
- Treatment decisions for joint conditions.
May
- Explain the anatomy of joints and common conditions in general terms.
- Help a person log joint pain or mobility they choose to share.
Moral aspects Filled
- Joint disease limits independence and work, especially in older people.
- Unproven remedies are widely sold to people in pain.
Who is affected
- Patients
- Older people
- Athletes
Owners Filled
Steward
The person whose body it is; clinicians treat it.

Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Vercy registry: vr.tr.joint
- Wikidata: Q9644 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9644)
Direct properties required Filled
- Range of motion: degrees - Angular movement is measured for a specified joint and movement using goniometry, with some joint types permitting little or no movement.
- Joint space width: mm - Separation between opposing bone surfaces is measured on imaging for a specified joint, position and loading condition.
Recognition required Filled
- Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
- Named joints such as knee or elbow
- Joints in carpentry or cannabis slang are different senses
- Connections between bones, visible on imaging and felt as movable points.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- describe joint types and structures
- name joints correctly
- recognise when joint symptoms need care
- find information on joint health
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Agents diagnosing joint problems
- Ignoring signs of infection or fracture
- Confusing senses
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- Terminologia Anatomica
Context of use required Filled
- Movement and stability of the skeleton.
- synovial joints
- cartilaginous joints
