Joint laxity in selected athletic populations
Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 1982Joint laxity was established in 96 subjects from six different athletic groups. Three different methods of measurement were applied to each subject: a hyperextensometer method, a generalized joint laxity method, and a global index method. The hyperextensometer detected two significant differences (P less than 0.01) between paired athletic groups using ...

General joint laxity is measured with the hyperextensometer, and by analyzing the values obtained in a group of European subjects norm curves are drawn up related to age and sex. The values found in various orthopedic diseases are put into these curves, and the importance of general joint laxity is discussed.

Exercise-related knee joint laxity
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1986Knee injuries are the topic of increasingly sophisticated research because of the importance in professional athletics as well as increasing participation in recrea tional sports. The role of conditioning and fatigue in these injuries remains controversial.

Influence of Joint Laxity on Scaphoid Kinematics
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1995Excessively lax wrists more frequently become symptomatic if overloaded or injured than normal joints. Whether this is the consequence of biological or mechanical factors or both remains unknown. This study evaluates the relationship between the degree of joint laxity and scaphoid kinematic behaviour during radio-ulnar deviation of the wrist in 60 ...

The quantification of joint laxity in dancers and gymnasts
Journal of Sports Sciences, 1999The aim of this study was to determine the range of movement in gymnastic and dance populations. Sixty-five participants (41 females, 24 males; mean age 21.4 years) were assessed. The sample included dancers and gymnasts ranging from novice and club standard to international and professional status.

CHRONIC LAXITY OF THE SUBTALAR JOINT
Orthopedics, 1996ABSTRACT Chronic laxity of the subtalar joint derives from the functional significance of the joint with the talo-calcaneal interosseous ligament as the articular "pivot." The laxity of the subtalar joint is usually associated with traumatic or degenerative pathology of the interosseus ligament.

Nephroptosis in a young woman with joint laxity
Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2009A 25-year-old woman was evaluated repeatedly from 10 months following her first pregnancy and delivery for recurrent episodes of lower right quadrant abdominal pain, hematuria and a sensation of mass. Despite investigations by several physicians over a 7 month period no clear diagnosis had been made, but a psychosomatic disorder or possible periodic ...

Rotational laxity and stiffness of the radiocarpal joint
Clinical Biomechanics, 1996OBJECTIVE: To investigate the constraint and potential mechanism of torque transmission across the wrist joint. DESIGN: In vitro experiment using human cadaveric specimens. BACKGROUND: Transmission of torque from the forearm to the hand requires rotational stability at the wrist.

Rotatory Laxity of the Human Knee Joint
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1974A method was developed for measuring the rotatory laxity of fresh knee-joint specimens by automatic cyclic rotation. Twenty-seven cadaver specimens were studied at an angle of 25 degrees of flexion. Primary laxity was defined as the rotation for a low torque of ± S kilograms force-centimeter Secondary laxity was the additional rotation at the extremes ...

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2011
Increased joint laxity has been associated with the risk of ligament injury and development of osteoarthritis in large joints such as the knee, but this has not been investigated in depth in the hand. We hypothesized that generalized joint laxity would correlate with radiographic measures of trapeziometacarpal (TM) joint subluxation, as measured in ...
