Balance and physical performance in people with flexible joints
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares balance and physical performance in people with and without generalized joint hypermobility, especially when doing two tasks at once. It helps understand how flexible joints affect daily movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 40 years old.
- You need to have been identified with generalized joint hypermobility (often called 'double-jointed').

This trial is testing how to assess and manage joint instability in people who have unusually loose (hypermobile) joints. If you have moderate to severe loose joints, you may be able to join after screening checks like movement tests and health history.
This study looks at how flexible joints (joint hypermobility) affect body awareness and quality of life. The goal is to learn more about these connections and suggest helpful exercises or treatments.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the ulnar nerve in the elbow area of people who have very flexible joints (called generalized joint hypermobility) and compares them to people without it. The goal is to see if there are differences that might help doctors understand nerve problems better.
This study looks at how flexible (hypermobile) hand joints are in university students and whether that flexibility is linked to how strong their grip is. It may help understand normal joint variations in healthy young adults.
This study compares joint flexibility in young adults with and without joint hypermobility (unusually flexible joints). It will help researchers understand how common and how different joint flexibility is in this group. You may join if you are a Clarkson Health Sciences student.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis affects balance, walking patterns, and movement. Researchers will use motion analysis to understand changes, which could help improve treatments.
