Final answer:

Multiaxial joints in the body, like the hip and shoulder joints, allow three types of movement across three different axes: anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, rotational, including flexion-extension, abduction-adduction, circumduction, and medial-lateral rotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'multiaxial classification' in the context provided seems to pertain to the movement capabilities of joints and not the multiaxial classification system used in psychiatry (DSM). If we discuss multiaxial joints in the human body, these include joints like the hip joint and the shoulder joint that allow for three types of movements: anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and rotational. These joints can perform movements along three axes: flexion-extension, abduction-adduction, and circumduction, as well as medial (internal) and lateral (external) rotation. This capability makes multiaxial joints highly versatile, being able to support a wide range of physical activities.
