Relating to or affecting two joints, especially muscles or ligaments that cross two joints.
From 'bi-' meaning two and 'articular' from Latin 'articulus' meaning joint. Common in anatomical and medical terminology.
Biarticular muscles like the hamstring are special because they can move two joints at once—this makes them powerful but also injury-prone since they work double duty.
