Filter by:Pain associated with knee joint hypermobility is common in the adult population, but evidence on treatment is sparse. This study investigates if high-load resistance training is superior to usual care in improving activity-related pain in young patients (18-45 years) with hypermobile joints and knee pain.
shows that children and adults with joint hypermobility may be identified with common clinical problems that are unrelated, such as chronic fatigue, anxiety, and a range of gastrointestinal functional disorders [4-6]. Considering the relationship of joint hypermobility with joint muscle tone and posture, sensory processing skills may also be affected in individuals with hypermobility. No study in the literature examines the relationship between joint hypermobility and sensory processing. This study was planned to detect joint hypermobility as early as 12-14 months and to examine its relationship with sensory processing skills.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about effect of generalised joint hypermobility on the effectiveness of the brace in children with Adolesan Idiopatic Scoliosis and who use braces due to brace indication. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Generalized Joint Hypermobility have an effect on the amount of in-brace improvement achieved in children using braces? - Does Generalized Joint Hypermobility have an effect on the change in the numerical variables related to scoliosis recorded in the out-brace measurement at the end of 6 months?
Every individual with joint hypermobility may not apply to a health institution because they do not have a complaint that will affect their daily life. Although hypermobility is a common clinical entity in the society, this issue has not been fully understood yet. In particular, individuals with GJH are either neglected in physiotherapy and rehabilitation evaluations and practices, or they encounter an incomplete assessment and physiotherapy practices. In this study, in order to better understand the effect of GJH on "core" muscle endurance, upper extremity strength, grip strength and coordination, we will include the individuals identified GJH among the university students (hypermobility severity ≥4/9 according to Beighton diagnostic criteria) as study group and the healthy peers as control group. We believe the results we will obtain at the end of our study will make a contribution to the literature in terms of revealing the role of "core" muscle endurance and upper extremity strength, grip strength and coordination in the evaluation and rehabilitation of individuals with GJH. In addition, it will contribute to the inclusion of individuals with GJH who are professional athletes, dancers or musicians in a more comprehensive evaluation program and the creation of physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs. According to the information we have obtained from the literature, it is a fact that hypermobility can increase the susceptibility to musculoskeletal system diseases. For this reason, early solutions to problems can be provided by evaluating hypermobility in patients who apply to health institutions with various musculoskeletal complaints, raising awareness of patients with hypermobility to prevent injuries caused by hypermobility, and strengthening muscles.
The aim of this study was the assessment of muscle flexibility after 2-weeks of whole-body vibration (WBV) training in people with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH). The study included 33 participants aged 22-25 years. 12 participants were classified into the GJH group and 21 into the control group (CG). The study included the Beighton score and muscle flexibility tests: straight leg raise test (SLR), popliteal angle test (PA), and the modified Thomas test. These tests were performed before and after the short-term WBV program, which consisted of six sessions (frequency: 15 Hz and 30 Hz, amplitude 3 mm, 3 trials x 3 min.).
Hypermobility is more than normal joint laxity, mobility, and range of motion. It is characterized by increased laxity and fragility of connective tissues. Symptoms from hypermobility can begin at any age and affect women more than men. People are at higher risk than other people. It is stated that hypermobility is an important factor in orthopedic injuries and diseases. Individuals with hypermobility have more frequent orthopedic complaints and the problems are usually idiopathic and chronic. Studies have reported that proprioception and musculoskeletal reflex function may be affected independently of symptoms in hypermobile individuals. Therefore, evaluating hypermobility is very important in preventing hypermobility-related problems and injuries and developing appropriate treatment methods. Although the Beighton score is the most commonly used scoring method to determine hypermobility, it may be insufficient to determine hypermobility of the lower extremities. The Lower Limb Assessment Score (LLAS) has been reported to be one of the most appropriate scoring methods for assessing lower extremity hypermobility in the literature. The aim of this study is to adapt LLAS to Turkish and measure its validity and reliability.

The aim of this study is to adapt ULHAT to Turkish and measure its validity and reliability.
The lateral neck flexor endurance test has been proposed to assess for unilateral muscular deficits. It is not known if individuals with hyperlaxity have different muscular endurance than individuals without hyperlaxity.
The aim of our study was to determine the joint mobility levels and its effects on performance in male basketball players and their sedentary peers aged 16-22 years. According to the studies on the effect of hypermobility on the performance; The young athletes who played tennis had lower equilibrium results than those without hypermobility. Although there is not any study that investigate its effects in basketball, there are studies for tennis and volleyball in literature.
Study hypothesis:- Benign joint hyper mobility syndrome which persists into adulthood is a special type of benign joint hyper mobility which is more likely to predispose to chronic musculoskeletal pain. Young Indian adults aged between 25 and 40 years who are blood donors or relatives of patients admitted as inpatient or presenting to the out patient department, in Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences will be enrolled, after excluding the exclusionary criteria. They will be assessed for the presence of chronic musculoskeletal pain using a validated self filled questionnaire. The primary investigator who will be blinded to their response will examine them for the presence of Benign Joint Hyper mobility Syndrome and for tender points suggestive of fibromyalgia. Primary Objective:- To determine whether chronic musculoskeletal pain is associated with Hypermobility among Indian adults. Study design:- Cross sectional survey
