Abstract :
Ayurveda categorizes Sandhi (joints) into types according to their mobility: Sthira (Fixed), Chala (Movable), and partially movable joints. This classification aligns closely with contemporary joint categories, which include fibrous (Fixed), synovial (Movable), and cartilaginous (Partially movable) joints. The exploration of Sandhi Sharira today connects ancient knowledge with modern scientific understanding, promoting interdisciplinary research to substantiate Ayurvedic concepts in broader clinical practice. There is a strong focus on joint mobility, stability, and overall skeletal health through the integration of Ayurvedic principles and modern scientific approaches.
