Muscle Strength and Balance in Individuals With Joint Hypermobility

Join our study on muscle strength and balance for joint hypermobility!

Phase N/A

Joint hypermobility (JH) means that your joints can move more than what is normal. This can make them more likely to get hurt and cause problems with balance, making it easier to fall. People with JH might also feel tired often, anxious, or have tummy troubles. This study looks at how focusing on outside things (external focus) or your own body movements (internal focus) can help improve balance and muscle strength in people with JH. For example, if you're trying to balance on one leg, focusing on keeping the floor still under you (external focus) might help more than thinking about your leg movements (internal focus). The study aims to see which focus method is better for those with JH.

  • Participants should be aged 18-35 and score 5+ on the Beighton scale, which measures joint flexibility.
  • You cannot join if you've had surgery in the past 6 months.
  • No musculoskeletal pathologies are allowed for participants.
