The Beighton Score as a measure of generalised joint hypermobility [PDF]
Rheumatology International, 2021 AbstractThe Beighton Score (BS) is a set of manoeuvres in a nine-point scoring system, used as the standard method of assessment for Generalised Joint Hypermobility (GJH). It was originally developed as an epidemiological tool used in screening large populations for GJH, but later adopted as a clinical tool for diagnostic purposes. Its ability to truly

Poster 142. Hypermobility Does Not Affect Patient Reported Outcomes Following Arthroscopic Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome [PDF]
Orthopaedic Journal of Sports MedicineObjective: Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) is a condition that predisposes individuals to soft tissue injury and chronic instability. Management of femoroacetabular impingement Syndrome (FAIS) has reportedly been complicated by GJH.
