Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and joint hypermobility (JH) are considered two different etiological and clinical entities that most often appear in childhood. Despite growing increased research showing a co-occurrence for both conditions, a link between them is rarely established in clinical settings, and the relationship between ASD and JH has not so far been completely investigated in all age groups of ASD children. This preliminary study examined a cohort of 67 non-syndromic ASD children aged 2-18 years (sex ratio M:F = 12:1) showing different degrees of cognitive impairment and autism severity, using the Beighton scale and its revised version...

The aim of this study was to assess the coexistence of polymorphisms of the COL1A1 and COL5A1 genes with clinically diagnosed laxity and the occurrence of recurrent patellar dislocation in adolescents. The research group comprised 50 cases of recurrent patellar dislocation. The mean age at diagnosis was 14.2 years (10-17, SD 2.6). The control group consisted of 199 participants without a diagnosis of recurrent patellar dislocation, with a mean age of 15.2 (10-17 years, SD 2.7). Joint laxity by the Beighton scale was assessed...

OBJECTIVES: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder characterised by joint hypermobility, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and skin abnormalities and easy bruising. Morphological and functional microvascular status has not yet been studied in hEDS, and dermal thickness (DT) has been poorly investigated, therefore the aim of our study was to investigate it. METHODS: We conducted a study to investigate microvascular morphology by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC), peripheral blood perfusion (PBP) by laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA), and DT by high-frequency skin ultrasound (22 MHz probe) in adults with hEDS compared to sex- and age-matched controls...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the relationship between kinaesthesia, motor performance, fitness, and joint mobility in children. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving children from two primary schools in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria. The Beighton criteria were used to measure joint mobility. Motor performance, fitness, and kinaesthesia were measured in all the children. Spearman's rank correlation was used to evaluate the relationship between the outcomes...

BACKGROUND: Blindness is a common problem in every society and country. The problem ranges from complete blindness to partially sighted in the affected population. India has close to 12 million visually impaired people. Orthopaedic problems are not uncommon in blind. Orthopaedic Surgeons though had been aware of the postural and gait abnormalities in blind but very few published studies have systematically focused on the effect of blindness on the development of posture and gait. METHODS: Case Control study done for the orthopaedic evaluation of the blind and partially sighted individuals...

Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) is a non-inflammatory hereditary disorder of connective tissue with varied clinical presentations, including frequent joint dislocations, hyperextensible skin, easy bruising, and abnormal paper-thin scar formation. Many of these patients have unexplained gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of JHS in a tertiary gastroenterology motility clinic and the spectrum of functional bowel disorders in JHS patients. In this retrospective case series, we screened the medical records of 277 patients seen over 4 years at an academic GI Motility Center...

METHODS: Between January and June 2022, a retrospective screening was conducted on a total of 68 patients aged between 6 and 18 years who had been diagnosed with FPP. Eight patients were excluded from the study due to suspicion of connective tissue or neuromuscular diseases following systemic examinations conducted by a pediatric specialist...

The most common conditions with symptomatic joint hypermobility are hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD). Diagnosing these overlapping connective tissue disorders remains challenging due to the lack of established causes and reliable diagnostic tests. hEDS is diagnosed applying the 2017 diagnostic criteria, and patients with symptomatic joint hypermobility but not fulfilling these criteria are labeled as HSD, which is not officially recognized by all healthcare systems...

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Some patients with Hirayama disease (HD) may have generalized joint hypermobility (GJH), which may excessively increase cervical range of motion (ROM) and then worsen the HD. The purpose of this study was to identify the frequency of GJH in HD patients and to analyze the effect of GJH on cervical ROM and the severity of HD. METHODS: The Beighton scoring system (≥4) was used to diagnose GJH in 84 HD patients. All patients underwent assessments of cervical-flexion/extension ROM; motor unit number estimation in bilateral abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscles; handgrip strength; and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand assessments...

INTRODUCTION: Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) affects approximately 50% of pregnant women. The mechanisms are multifactorial but not fully understood. Women with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) may be vulnerable to load in the pelvic joints during pregnancy. Our aim was to investigate if women with GJH had an increased risk of PGP and higher pain intensity during and after pregnancy, compared with women with normal joint mobility. We also studied if body mass index (BMI) in early pregnancy influenced that risk...

BACKGROUND: Generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) has been associated with an increased risk of suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Patients with GJH exhibit lower muscle strength and poorer scores for patient-reported outcomes after ACL reconstruction, compared with patients without GJH. The aim of this study was to examine differences in the percentages of patients who return to sport (RTS) or pre-injury level of activity (RTP), muscle function and patient-reported outcomes at the time of RTS or RTP, as well as the time of RTS or RTP in patients with GJH compared with patients without GJH in the first two years after ACL reconstruction...

Successful arthroscopic hip surgery for patients with generalized ligamentous laxity requires dedicated attention to preoperative patient counseling, including consideration of each patient's functional status and goals, careful evaluation of patient symptomatology, and meticulous capsular management. Maximal preservation of the fibrous capsular ligaments that stabilize the hip is of particular importance. It is incorrect to assume all hip patients with an elevated Beighton score should be categorically treated a certain way...

Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between joint laxity and post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). Methods A total of 123 patients with PDPH - 73 females and 50 males - were included in the study. The patients were examined regarding joint laxity and classified into two groups according to the Beighton score. Those with a Beighton score between 0 and 3 were classified as Group I, and those with a score greater than 4 were classified as Group II. Data related to the demographic characteristics of the patients, time of onset of PDPH, severity, need for medical treatment, need for an epidural blood patch, and length of hospital stay were recorded, and a comparison was made between the two groups...

BACKGROUND: Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a common pain disorder. Diagnostic criteria include physical findings which are often unreliable or not universally accepted. A precise biosignature may improve diagnosis and treatment effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to assess whether microanalytic assays significantly correlate with characteristic clinical findings in people with MPS.

Playing Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (PRMD) belong to the most prevalent medical ailments affecting musicians' health and career. This study documents the effect of a physiotherapeutic treatment as well as functional impairments of PRMD on the musculoskeletal system. In total, 32 music students suffering from PRMD were examined in Hanover Medical School (MHH) before and after they received twelve physiotherapeutic treatments, which were carried out over 20 min each over 6 weeks. Additionally, 32 healthy music students, matched by age and gender, were examined at one time point in the MHH to explore which musculoskeletal restrictions are associated with PRMD...
