UNDERSTANDING HYPERMOBILITY

Hypermobility refers to conditions where joints have an increased range of motion and soft tissue elasticity. Approximately 10-30% of people, especially women, children, and individuals of Asian descent, exhibit hypermobility. Professions such as dancers, gymnasts, athletes, and musicians often have higher prevalence due to their enhanced performance capabilities.

SYMPTOMS OF HYPERMOBILITY

Hypermobility can manifest in various ways, affecting about 10% of individuals. A thorough hypermobility physiotherapy treatment plan can potentially help address the following common symptoms:

TYPES OF HYPERMOBILITY CONDITIONS

1.  Genetic Conditions: Such   as Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, Marfan syndrome, Stickler syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta.

2.  Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD): Characterized by loose joints, ligaments, or poor muscle tone without a specific identifiable connective tissue disorder.

3.  Injury- or Training-Related Hypermobility: Localized to single or multiple joints.

4.  Secondary Effect Hypermobility: Seen in conditions like Down syndrome or cerebral palsy.
