JOINT HYPERMOBILITY SYNDROME AND ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by excessive flexibility of the joints beyond the normal range of motion, often accompanied by musculoskeletal pain and instability. This condition predominantly affects children, adolescents, and young adults, and may be associated with recurrent joint dislocations, soft tissue injuries, and functional limitations [1, 2]. Clinical manifestations include joint pain, fatigue, proprioceptive difficulties, and increased risk of sprains or injuries during physical activity. Recent research indicates that JHS may involve both genetic and environmental factors, affecting connective tissue integrity and collagen structure [3, 4]. Early recognition, proper assessment, and individualized management—including physiotherapy, exercise programs, and pain management—are crucial for improving quality of life and preventing long-term complications [5, 6].
