a. in a close-packed position, the joint is maximally compressed and the joint capsule and ligaments are taut. In a loose-packed position, the joint capsule and ligaments are slack and there is space between the articular surfaces.
b. in a close-packed position, the joint is slack and the joint capsule and ligaments are overstretched. In a loose-packed position, the joint capsule and ligaments are slack and the joint is in a resting position.
c. in a close-packed position, the joint surfaces are fused and the joint capsule and ligaments are taut. In a loose-packed position, the joint capsule and ligaments are slack and there is space between the articular surfaces.
d. in a close-packed position, the joint is maximally rotated which makes the joint capsule and ligaments taut. In a loose-packed position, the joint capsule and ligaments are slack and there is space between the articular surfaces.
