Hypermobility syndrome (HMS) is defined as the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms in subjects with Hypermobility in the absence of demonstrable systemic rheumatic disease.[1]
Excessive laxity in multiple joints is necessary to have HMS.Most common symptoms: - pain in multiple joints
- back pain
- overuse syndromes with normal levels of activity
- always being tired
Less common symptoms: - joint stiffness
- myalgia
- muscle cramps
[1,2,3]
Although women are more likely than men to have HMS and Asians and Africans are more likely to have HMS than white people, joint laxity is a consequence of a connective tissue disorder with a chance on heredity of 50%.
