Muscle tone of connecting tendons

The shape of articular bone surfaces is helpful for stability (especially in the case of the hip joint), and the number of ligaments (and size/strength of them) can contribute to stability, but the muscle tone of the muscles connected to the tendons attached to the joint is the most important factor.
