THE BEIGHTON SCORE How to Assess Joint Hypermobility A numerical mobility score of 0 to 9, one point allocated for the ability to perform each of the following tests: A positive Beighton score for adults is 5 out of the 9 possible points; for children, a positive score is at least 6 out of 9 points.
The Beighton Scoring System measures joint hypermobility on a 9-point scale. The joints assessed are: Knuckle of both little/fifth/pinky fingers. Base of both thumbs. Elbows. Knees. Spine. Where applicable, range of movement is measured using a goniometer, an instrument that measures the joint angle.

If Beighton Score is one point below age- and sex-specific cut off, two or more of the following must also be selected to meet criterion: ¨ Can you now (or could you ever) place your hands flat on the floor without bending your knees?
The Beighton score, first described in 1973 in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, is a modification of the Carter and Wilkinson scoring system reported in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, British volume in 1964. It is a tool for assessing generalized joint hypermobility that is valued for being an easy-to-use and quick assessment.
The Beighton score is a popular screening technique for hypermobility. This is a nine–point scale and requires the performance of 5 manoeuvres, four passive bilateral and one active unilateral performance.
The Beighton score is a test that measures joint hypermobility (flexibility). It involves simple maneuvers, such as bending your pinky (little) finger backward to check the joint angle. The Beighton score uses a nine-point scoring system. The higher your score, the more flexible your joints are.
The Beighton Score (BS) is a set of manoeuvres in a nine-point scoring system, used as the standard method of assessment for Generalised Joint Hypermobility (GJH). It was originally developed as an epidemiological tool used in screening large

Beighton Test What's your score? score of four or more (either now or in the past) and/or joint pain for longer than three months in four or more joints? You may be hypermobile.
