Abstract

Background and Aims: Hypermobility is defined as a condition in which many synovial joints move beyond their natural range of movement. Since hypermobile individuals participate in athletic activities, identifying their functional differences with healthy people and the likelihood of injury can help planning suitable exercises for them. The purpose of the present study was to compare time to stabilization (TTS) and scores of functional movement screening (FMS) tests in active girls with and without hypermobility.
Materials and Methods: A total of 30 physically active girls, with (Brighton criteria more than 4) and without hypermobility were selected and participated in the current study. TTS was calculated during jump-landing on force plate and FMS test was gathered in all the participants.
Results: The results of independent t-test showed that TTS and FMS scores were significantly more and less, respectively, in hypermobile girls compared with healthy participants.
Conclusion: Based on the results, hypermobile girls have weaker stability, mobility, and movement control compared with healthy ones and thus are more prone to injury. Therefore, it is suggested that coaches pay attention to their differences and design a workout program appropriate to them, with particular emphasis on stability and postural control.
