A member asked:
My daughter is six and doesn't complain of any pain but when she stands straight both her knees look hyperextended. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypermobility: 6 y female can hyperextend knees. Probably has Joint Hypermobility (JH) & should take Brighton Criteria exam. Marked association of JH & fibromyalgia. Her pelvis is easily damaged by falls; causing chronic low back pain. Avoid contact sports (soccer & basketball), extreme sports (skiing, ATV's, skateboarding), horse riding & gymnastics/cheerleading. Swimming, archery, golf, fencing & yoga advised.
