Exploring the multi-factorial manifestations of joint hypermobility syndrome and the impact on quality of life.
… of a well ‘tuned’ central nervous system and hypermobility. Hypermobility is a common phenomenon that is beneficial for some but not for others. This thesis discusses hypermobility associated with multisystemic symptoms referred to as Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS). It is suggested that …

The relationship between kinaesthesia, motor performance, physical fitness and joint mobility in children with and without joint hypermobility in Nigeria
Background: Some children with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) develop symptoms at some point, which could negatively affect their overall health status. When GJH presents with symptoms, it is described as benign joint hypermobility syndrome (BJHS). Some of the symptoms may include pain, soft …

Proprioception, balance and lower limb strength in Nigerian children (7-10 years) with Generalized Joint Hypermobility and Developmental Coordination Disorder
… as having a higher prevalence of generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) than their Caucasian counterparts. It is believed that abnormal joint biomechanics as a result of the joint laxity contribute to the damage of joints. The ability to perceive movement or position sense at joints …

A longitudinal study on possible correlates that might explain the onset and progression of musculoskeletal symptoms in school-aged children with Generalized Joint Hypermobility
Background: Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH) is an increased joint range of motion in multiple joints. Its prevalence in the general population is usually a function of age, gender, ethnicity and Beighton score cut-off score. GJH has been documented to be beneficial to sports and activities …

Visuomotor Learning and Proprioception Across Development
… diseases where the most common symptoms are joint hypermobility and chronic pain. In Chapter 2 I explored sensitivity of hand proprioception in EDS as a function of disease severity. In Chapter 3 I further explored proprioceptive sensitivity in EDS by comparing patients’ estimates of hand …

Cardiovascular, autonomic and neuropathic physiology and their involvement in the extra-articular manifestations of hypermobility disorders
Joint hypermobility has been recognised since the fourth century BC (1, 2), however, despite this there remains limited knowledge surrounding hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS (2017) (3), EDS Hypermobility Type (Villefranche 1998) (4), EDS III (Berlin 1988) (5)) and the less severe …

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors associated with range of motion (ROM) with an emphasis on a novel genetic factor
… tissue injuries. Both an increased and decreased joint range of motion (ROM) has been reported as one of the intrinsic risk factors for these injuries. Similarly to injury, the ROM trait has also been associated with various extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors that are associated …
