   Abnormal joint proprioception (an impaired ability to locate body parts in space and/or monitor an extended joint) These abnormalities cause abnormal joint stress, meaning that the joints can wear out, leading to osteoarthritis. The condition tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic basis for at least some forms of hypermobility.
