Ligaments help stabilize joints by connecting bones to one another and limiting excessive movement. They guide the motion of a joint, helping it move in the proper direction while preventing movements that could cause dislocation or injury. By providing both strength and flexibility, ligaments play a crucial role in maintaining joint stability during everyday activities and athletic movements.
