Hypermobile joints are common and occur in about 10 to 25% of the population, [3] but in a minority of people, pain and other symptoms are present. This may be a sign of hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD). Hypermobile joints are a feature of genetic connective tissue disorders such as hypermobility spectrum disorder or Ehlers–Danlos ...
Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders may be equally severe. [5] [6] HSD is further classified into different subtypes, which include: [6] Generalized HSD (G-HSD): Involves widespread joint hypermobility affecting multiple joints. Localized HSD (L-HSD): Limited to a few joints, without generalized involvement.
Joint hypermobility is present, but generally confined to the small joints (fingers, toes). Other common features include club foot , tendon and/or muscle rupture, acrogeria (premature aging of the skin of the hands and feet), early-onset varicose veins , pneumothorax (collapse of a lung), the recession of the gums, and a decreased amount of ...
Hypermobility may refer to: Hypermobility (joints) , joints that stretch further than normal Hypermobility spectrum disorder , a heritable connective tissue disorder
Distal hyperextensibility of the thumb, thumb hypermobility, Z-shaped deformity, [1] duck-bill thumb [2] Example of bilateral hitchhiker's thumb: Specialty: Medical genetics: Symptoms: A thumb that can bend backwards at more than a 90° degree angle: Complications: If it presents as an isolated trait, none: Duration: Life-long: Causes
Genetic conditions, such as hypermobility syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome put individuals at increased risk for dislocations. [13] Hypermobility syndrome is an inherited disorder that affects the ligaments around joints. [14] The loosened or stretched ligaments in the joint provide less stability and allow for the joint to dislocate more ...
Deficit in joint proprioception; Lower limb length discrepancy; Congenital genu recurvatum; Cerebral palsy; Muscular dystrophy; Limited dorsiflexion (plantar flexion contracture) Popliteus muscle weakness; Connective tissue disorders. In these disorders, there are excessive joint mobility (joint hypermobility) problems. These disorders include ...
The term hypermobility refers to the characteristic of people with more-elastic ligaments, allowing their joints to stretch and contort further; this is sometimes still called double-jointedness. Hypermobile finger. The consequence of a broken ligament can be instability of the joint.
