Brief Summary

shows that children and adults with joint hypermobility may be identified with common clinical problems that are unrelated, such as chronic fatigue, anxiety, and a range of gastrointestinal functional disorders \[4-6\]. Considering the relationship of joint hypermobility with joint muscle tone and posture, sensory processing skills may also be affected in individuals with hypermobility. No study in the literature examines the relationship between joint hypermobility and sensory processing. This study was planned to detect joint hypermobility as early as 12-14 months and to examine its relationship with sensory processing skills.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Beighton Score

  . The test consists of 5 items: (1) positive if the passive dorsiflexion of the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint score is greater than 90 degrees (bilateral test); (2) positive if passive hyperextension of the elbow joint is \>10 (bilateral test); (3) positive if passive hyperextension of the knee joint is \>10 (bilateral test); (4) passive apposition of the thumb to the flexor side of the forearm is positive for joint hypermobility (bilateral test) if the shoulder is at 90 flexion, the elbow is extended, and the whole thumb is touching the flexor side of the forearm; and (5) the score is positive when dorsiflexion of the ankle is \>30 (bilateral test). The assessment was performed on both the right and left sides, and the item was given 1 point if hypermobility was detected in the joints, and 0 points if not, according to the instructions of each item. Cut-off score of \>4 was used to define hypermobility

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Test of Sensory Functions in Infants

  20 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Children with GJH

Children who scored above 4 points in the hypermobility assessment made with the Beighton score were included in this group. sensory processing skills assessed with the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants

Diagnostic Test: Assessment

Children without GJH

Children who scored below 4 points in the hypermobility assessment made with the Beighton score were included in this group. sensory processing skills assessed with the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants

Diagnostic Test: Assessment

Interventions

Assessment DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The children included in the study were evaluated in terms of hypermobility and then divided into two groups. Children in both groups were evaluated in terms of sensory processing skills.

Children with GJH; Children without GJH
