Can you tell me about hypermobility?

Excess ROM: Hypermobility means that there is an increase range of motion of the joint. Which can be a normal variant, but can also be present in certain diseases

Poorly understood dx: JHS is symptomatic hypermobility. Many individuals who have hypermobility never have pain or require any treatment. When hypermobility is found associated with pain, or a few other criteria (see Brighton criteria) it is termed JHS. It is presumed to be caused by a defect in collagen but rarely have collagen related genes been implicated (TNXB gene).
