Introduction[edit | edit source]
Joint hypermobility (JH) or else, joint laxity, refers to the larger than normal range of motion (ROM) during passive or active joint movements of an individual's synovial joints. [1] Generalised joint hypermobility (GJM) involves several joints, occurs as an asymptomatic condition attached to various musculoskeletal and extra-musculoskeletal manifestations, relatively frequently in the general population; however, GJH is also present in various hereditary connective tissue disorders, such as the Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS). [2]
To date, diagnosis of hypermobility is generally based on clinical judgement because there is no universal gold standard of diagnostic criteria for the condition. The Hospital Del Mar criteria assesses ten joints and and trunk for hypermobility in passive movement.
