Adding number of Joints (mostly in the Adult) human body

Woulden't it be a nice addition to the article if we had a table with the number of joints at different ages and developmental stages?

There is a lot of sources which seems to suggest that a normal human have between 250-350 joints?(https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/25137-joints, https://www.vedantu.com/evs/joints-in-human-body, https://www.researchgate.net/post/how_many_joints_in_a_human_body)


However none of them are traditional school books or scientific articles


One can find more academic articles(e. g https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK536941/) which tells you that there 33 in the foot or in some other body part. But I have not been able to find one which looks at the whole body?


It is much more difficult to find anyone who actuelly lists out all of these which would make it easy to check. Does any one know a good source(or maybe multiple good souces which can be compiled), so that we can add the number of Joints in an average human body at different stages in life?
