Symptomatic joint hypermobility.

This resource discusses joint hypermobility, which can be either asymptomatic or symptomatic and may be associated with or without a syndrome. It highlights that even asymptomatic joint hypermobility can lead to repetitive use injuries or become symptomatic over time, potentially affecting joint biomechanics long-term. Symptomatic joint hypermobility is often related to conditions like soft-tissue rheumatism or muscular tension due to imbalances. The assessment of generalized joint hypermobility is feasible through a quick, in-office examination, with management focusing on neuromuscular re-training. Additionally, the resource emphasizes that joint hypermobility can be part of a heritable connective tissue disorder, necessitating a comprehensive assessment for systemic involvement to guide proper management.
