Abstract
Joint hypermobility is largely understood as a dysfunction of collagen fibers within the connective tissues of ligaments and tendons, allowing for a range of motion which is markedly increased over validated normal values. Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH) is defined using a Beighton score of ≥ 5/9. Additionally, previous studies have used microscopic imaging to determine these relationships, and there has yet to be a published study looking into the correlation between the sonographically determined length and width of ligaments, and GJH in a college-aged population in North America.
