Abstract
Background and study aims
This study aims to develop and test a comprehensive physiotherapy treatment package for people with joint hypermobility (these people are often described as being ‘double-jointed’). People with hypermobility have problems with many daily activities, ranging from walking to picking up small things with their fingers. Physiotherapy (including exercise, advice and education) is the main treatment but we don’t know how effective it is. This study will therefore involve the design and testing of a comprehensive physiotherapy treatment.
Who can participate?
The study will involve people over the age of 18 years who have been diagnosed with joint hypermobility syndrome and who have been referred for physiotherapy.
