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 …

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 …

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
… 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 (proprioception) …

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 …

An investigation of the Landing Error Scoring System and clinically assessable sport-related injury risk factors
… situations. Moreover, generalised hypermobility, the Movement-Specific Reinvestment Scale (MSRS), and dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) have all been used to assess injury risk factors, although their influence on dynamic movements remains relatively unexplored. Aim: To explore the …

Visuomotor Learning and Proprioception Across Development
… 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 position …

Non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques for urodynamic stress incontinence of urine in women
… urodynamic stress incontinence due to urethral hypermobility:Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of transvaginal radiofrequency remodelling of the endopelvic fascia as a minimally invasive technique for urodynamic stress incontinence of urine due to urethral hypermobility in …

The Language of Pain: New Understandings
… regional pain syndrome, neuropathic pain, and hypermobility syndrome. Metaphor use was also associated with the extent to which pain interfered with daily life. However, its relationships with other aspects of adjustment such as pain intensity, depression, anxiety, or stress were not as strong. …

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors associated with range of motion (ROM) with an emphasis on a novel genetic factor
… among other clinical signs, generalised joint hypermobility. Furthermore, a COL5A1 gene sequence variant, the BstUI Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), has previously been shown to be associated with ROM measurements in a cohort containing individuals with a history of Achilles …

The impact of first pregnancy and delivery on pelvic floor dysfunction
Background: The first childbirth has the greatest impact on a woman’s pelvic floor when major changes occur. The aim of this study was to comprehensively describe pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in young nulliparous women, and its correlation with postnatal pathology. Methods: A prospective study …
