Summary
This observational study at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences will enroll 511 people to learn how joint hypermobility affects the musculoskeletal system, body awareness, and quality of life. Researchers will use questionnaires and physical tests to compare women with and without the condition. The goal is to develop practical guidelines for physical therapists to help manage symptoms and improve daily living.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
First stage of the study (cultural adaptation of the five-part questionnaire and the Bristol Impact of Hypermobility Questionnaire): women and men aged 20 and over who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. Second stage of the study: women aged 20 to 40 who voluntarily agree to participate in the study. Depending on their Beighton score and Five-Part Questionnaire score, the subjects will be divided into a study group (women with joint hypermobility: 5 or more points on the Beighton scale; 2 or more points on the Five-Part Questionnaire) and a control group (women without joint hypermobility: less than 5 points on the Beighton scale; less than 2 points on the Five-Part Questionnaire).
