Hypermobility Syndrome - Symptoms
The MedicineNet physician editors ask:
What were the symptoms of your hypermobility syndrome?
How is hypermobility syndrome treated?
Often joint hypermobility causes no symptoms and requires no treatment. Many individuals with the joint hypermobility syndrome improve in adulthood.
Symptoms include pains in knees, fingers, hips, and elbows. The affected joints may sprain or dislocate. Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) is more frequent. Usually improves with adulthood. Also called the joint hypermobility syndrome.
Benign Hypermobility Syndrome
What is benign hypermobility joint syndrome?
Joint hypermobility means that some or all of the joints have an unusually large range of movement. People with hypermobility are particularly supple and able to move their limbs into positions that other people find impossible.
What is Joint Hypermobility Syndrome?
About 5% of the population have hypermobile joints - their joints have a range of movement that is greater than normal. This condition by itself is not serious, unless there is an underlying disease.
Alternate Names : Joint hypermobility, Loose joints
Definition
Hypermobile joints are joints that move beyond the normal range with little effort. Joints most commonly affected are the elbows, wrists, fingers, and knees.
Hypermobility Type
(Type III)
Joint hypermobility is the major manifestation. Any joint can be affected and dislocations are frequent. Inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
Hypermobility type (formerly type III)
This is the most common form of EDS. It may affect as many as one in 10,000 to 15,000 people. Signs and symptoms include:
Loose, unstable joints

Joint hypermobility; loose/unstable joints which are prone to frequent dislocations and/or subluxations; joint pain; hyperextensible joints (they move beyond the joint's normal range); early onset of osteoarthritis.
Other.
An unusually large range of joint movement (hypermobility) occurs with most forms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, particularly the hypermobility type.
In urethral hypermobility, the bladder and urethra shift downward when abdominal pressure rises, and there is no hammock-like support for the urethra to be compressed against to keep it closed.
People with this condition may also have bones that become progressively weak and prone to fracture (osteoporosis), an unusually large range of joint movement (hypermobility), and loose skin.

Unlike hypermobility, which refers to being double-jointed, hyperextension is the stretching of a body part beyond what is normal. A person who is double-jointed has misaligned or abnormally shaped joints, and their hypermobility is a result.
